Young Women Writing for (a) Change is a supportive and encouraging community for girls and teens to write and be heard. Classes use the art of writing along with other modes of artistic expression to help girls:
- enhance self-esteem
- build skills in creative self-expression
- learn to receive and give honest support and encouragement
- develop skills in building and keeping community
- seek and recognize role models who inspire creative life choices
Programs are designed to help strengthen girls' authentic voices, develop their ability to "speak out" through writing and in direct interaction, and deepen their faith in their own creative intelligence.
