OUR DIFFERENCE
A Summer of Impact
We know that not all youth have the same opportunities for learning and enrichment, which can lead to summer learning loss and further contribute to the opportunity gap.
​
Our summer curriculum is an intentional part of our programming continuum for girls and their allies that fosters community, encourages positive risk-taking, and exposes youth to new resources, opportunities and social capital.

Health Empowerment & Leadership (HEAL)
Participants will enjoy:
Health Empowerment & Leadership (HEAL) is for girls and their allies who are looking to be a part of the movement for opportunity and respect for all. In this summer program, teens will gain the knowledge and tools to become powerful health ambassadors, learning their own health rights and exploring the gaps that exist in our country that result in many groups lacking full access to health services they deserve.
Teens will share and learn in a supportive space where they can create connections with each other and their facilitator, all while gaining skills that will support them for a lifetime. There are also weekly field trips on Friday.
At the end of the program, participants team up on a creative art or media project using what they have learned throughout the curriculum.
By the end of the summer, teens walk away empowered, informed, and ready to lead with courage and purpose.
