FOR YOUTH

Be EmPOWERed Book Talk

Ideal for middle and high school students, Be EmPOWERed book talks are a great complement to your school’s or organization’s existing prevention programming. Award-winning mentor and author Rasheda Kamaria Williams empowers teens to move beyond bullying, drama and societal pressure to live powerfully. She shares her journey from excluded to empowered and how she got there with help from mentors, teachers, family and ultimately, herself.

Chica Chat

Designed for middle and high school students, Chica Chat promotes sisterhood and transforms the way girls and young women relate to one another. Participants have the opportunity to be self-expressed, heard and understood by their peers and adult mentors in a supportive, safe and accepting environment. Additionally, girls break down barriers by participating in fun and engaging ice-breaking activities and have the opportunity to ask questions anonymously that are answered by their peers with facilitation by adult mentors.

“We were experiencing a lot of drama with our middle school girls. Our girls needed a structured and safe environment to learn and express themselves. The Chica Chat allowed them to do so. I received positive feedback afterward and even felt the climate change a bit. One girl even said ‘I actually squashed some beef from that.’ Hearing that, made me very happy.”  – A. Evans, Laurus Academy Middle School Teacher

Communicating with Confidence

Ideal for older teens and youth leaders, Communicating with Confidence builds interpersonal communication skills and confidence in public speaking. Participants learn effective techniques in networking and personal brand building as well as how to prepare for media interviews. (For girls and boys)

“The workshop was fun, informative and engaging. The girls really enjoyed the hands-on activities. We received such positive feedback from the participants. As a result of their participation, they learned new skills for communicating in a way that is persuasive and empowering.” – Tonya McNeal-Weary, Young Entrepreneur Series Executive Director

“After, being in business 11 years, I felt it was time to reach out and explore what other organization were doing and their success. It was worth the investment. Even though I was using some of the information that GWPA presented, it was a light bulb that went off to POLISH up the organization’s knowledge and skills. I also was glad to learn about promoting and networking more efficienctly.” – Loretta Ware, Me, Myself & I Teens
