Did you know that the Women’s Centre (39 – 4th St NE) has ongoing programs for girls who want to change the world? There are FREE opportunities for girls between the grades of 5-12 to build community, discover their existing strengths, and build upon their leadership skills all while doing fun activities and social action projects. All snacks, supplies and bus tickets are provided.
Girl Power After School, starting back up again on September 10th, is for girls in grades 5 and 6 and will be entering its fourth year. Girls get to explore issues that they’ve identified as important to them such as body image, relationships, and identity. Activities like crafts, games, dancing, and theatre give girls a chance to talk about and take action on serious issues in their lives in fun and creative ways. Girls hang out together on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3:30-5:30 pm.
Girl Force, for girls in grades 7-9, is entering its second year and will be starting back up again on September 10th. Every Tuesday evening from 6-8pm, girls gather to lead sessions for each other, further develop their leadership skills, and discuss various social issues. Last year girls took a keen interest into topics related to mental health, relationships, and identity, which they explored through different “craftivism” projects and hands-on activities.
All of our programs for girls are drop-in and sign up will be ongoing. Interested? For more information about the program or for details on how to register, please contact Grace at 403-264-1155 or [email protected].
