Programs
The Young Women's Empowerment Project has four main program components.
Girls in Charge- Our paid weekly leadership group open to new girls. After Open Time you can stay for a GIRLS in CHARGE meeting from 7-8:30pm every Thursday (Please note that GIC will NOT meet from March 27th-June 10th)
Girls in Charge is the leadership group that makes all of the major decisions at YWEP.
Some things we have done at GIC in the past are:
- Create a workshop for social workers about how to work with girls in the sex trade
- Create a fundraiser called "Pancakes and Poetry" where we had an open mic with pancakes!
- Create zines about drugs, the sex trade, violence against girls and social justice
Girls get paid for their work in GIC!
We offer bus fare and $20.00 to any girl who stays and works during the meeting!
Outreach- After you have come to GIC for one month, girls are elligible to join our outreach team! After a completing a paid 40 hour training- girls can become paid outreach workers with us and reach other girls in the sex trade with condoms and life saving information and support. If you have question about outreach contact amber@youarepriceles.org
Social Justice- After girls have completed the Outreach Worker training, girls can go on to get involved with our social justice work and campaigns! If you have a question about social justice contact dominique@youarepriceless.org
