I met with the program manager and I'm even more psyched about this. I will be working in the troubled parts of town helping to teach young girls how to own their voice and defend themselves, physically, mentally and spiritually. It's an after school program & I'll be assisting at first & learning how to lead a program by myself. They have many different programs focusing on all of the challenging areas that girls are faced with - drugs, sex, violence, body image problems, etc.

Here's a real cool part of this. If a girl does two years of Girls Inc. training, they are eligible for a college scholarship after high school.

While we were talking, a total stranger stopped by (having seen the literature on the table) and said that Girls, Inc. is an incredible program & she was heavily involved with it in NYC. She said the experiences are incredible, that she got more out of it than anything else she's ever done. (My friends call that a God Shot.) How amazing is that?
