Description:

What is this summer youth program?
The summer youth program is for high school girls ages of 14-17. This is a type of mentoring program for you to connect with your female Sikh peers, talk about the problems you are facing as high school students, and discuss some potential resolutions. Basically, you will be discussing social issues that are affecting you as young Sikh teenage girls within the community.

Some examples of these issues are:

• Gender inequality within your homes and overall community
• The pressures you face from your Sikh peers
• The stress of preparing for post-high school careers
• Self-esteem
• Self-confidence, etc.

Anyone who wants to join in the group who fits the populace above is welcomed, the more the merrier! The meetings will be held from 6-8pm every Wed starting July 15th. The location is TBA.

Why should I bother?
It is a simple way to connect to other girls who may be facing the same situations. Sometimes others are able to come up with solutions we are unable to think of on our own. It is a way for you to learn from other girls or teach other girls what has worked for you.  If you feel like you do not really need to come up with any solutions for yourself, you might just be able to come and help someone else create one for them.
