Volunteer: YWCA Girl Power! Women of the WeekBeing a Woman of the Week means having the chance to share your passion with young girls in our community. Girl Power! is located out of six elementary and/or middle schools in Duluth. We work to carry out the YWCA’s mission of eliminating racism, empowering women and girls, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Our activities revolve around leadership development, STEM (science technology engineering math), self esteem building, healthy relationships, community engagement, race and gender justice, and more! Women of the Week are a very important part of our program because it provides our girls with new examples of strong female role models. Below are some questions that you may choose to answer as a Woman of the Week: How do you see yourself as a leader in our community? Why do you think it is important to have strong women leaders and role models? What is something that you want every girl to know? We have found that Women of the Week are most successful when our visitor can lead an activity or interactive discussion related to her field or passion. We have had Women of the Week do activities related to body image (health and wellness educator), science experiments (scientist), business planning (entrepreneur), and lead writing activities (professor). Anything that encourages girls to get engaged is great. If you would like help coming up with an idea for an activity we would be more than happy to brainstorm with you!
