Empowerment 4 Girls provides education for girls and non-binary youth equipping them with tools to help with puberty and personal empowerment. Program days run 9:30 a.m.- 4 p.m. Monday-Friday.
The curriculum is unbiased, factual sexual health information supported by the Washington State Health Education k-12 Standards. Participants will learn about anatomical terms, pregnancy and STI prevention, puberty changes, gender identity, gender norms and social pressure, sexual orientation, and how to be an ally.
Through experiential learning, participants will practice several evidence-based self-regulation and self-care strategies, including mindfulness activities, intentional social interactions, and protective measures for their mental health.
The sex-positive approach encourages participants to be confident self-advocates for their reproductive health. By the end of the program, participants will have developed their body literacy practice, learned several self-regulation strategies, and practiced advocating for themselves and others to create a more just society.
