Girls need mentors and empowerment to become future leaders! Garfield Park Academy has partnered with The Wonder Girls® to help young women (grades 7-12) develop confidence, self-esteem, leadership skills, and problem solving skills.
The program enhances our Momentum Transition® program by focusing on professional development and personal “branding,” social responsibility, and wellness. Workshops are led by a professional female industry leader and supported by female mentors from all backgrounds and career paths. The program is an extension of a “girls group” that is led by a certified social worker.
“The Wonder Girls® program creates a safe, supportive space for girls to address the emotional, physical, and mental challenges they face. It will give them the tools they need to speak their truth, and to grow and thrive in this world without fear of isolation or judgment.”
– Audra Snyder, Director of Social Work
The program also underscores the importance of social responsibility and giving back to those in need. Participants will take part in monthly volunteer events outside the school, including community service experiences with charitable partners and local organizations.
