Just
For Girls News:
Requests for the Just For Girls program from
multiple schools has the YWCA offering the program 7 times a
week!
|
 |
The YWCA's flagship program Just For Girls has started up
with the commencement of the Pasadena Unified School District school
year. Program team Jasmine Guerrero, Denise Ramos and Ashley
Phillips are facilitating 7 sessions a week with the possibility of two
additional opportunities in coming months.
For over 10 years, this after-school program has
helped girls become strong in mind, body and spirit. Taking place
throughout the school year on Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD)
campuses and at the YWCA and under the guidance of trained mentors, it
gives its participants a place to dream big, explore new ideas, develop
relationships and self-confidence, learn new skills and just talk. It also
provides a safe space to talk about violence avoidance, body image, peer
and family communication, sex education, and other issues in their lives.
Fun is part of the curriculum but the ultimate goal is to make its
participants see a productive future for themselves.
Program Assistant, Denise
Ramos personally knows the influence and effect the the Just For Girls
program has on ones life. Denise was one of the original participants in
1997 when the program began by simply knocking on doors and inviting girls
to be a part of something different and to belong to something positive.
The YWCA continues to be dedicated to the lives of these young girls and
appreciates your support as it empowers us to empower you!
