Young Women's Program

The women involved in this program are motivated by personal experience and the desire to improve their community. Not only do they become more informed on a variety of violence and oppression issues affecting other young women but they also develop self-confidence, public speaking skills, group facilitation techniques, and communication skills.

The benefits to Springtide Resources are also enormous. Each young woman brings with her a wealth of information, enthusiasm, and commitment to social justice issues that can only be infectious to those of us who have been doing this work for awhile.
