On the Journey to Womanhood
Oct 13, 2009
Shirley Edgerton, Executive Director of Youth Alive, Inc. will be sharing with us a rite of passage program offered to young women. A rite of passage is a ritual that marks a change in a person's social status. Youth Alive, Inc., is establishing a four month program to celebrate and provide the tools for young women passing from childhood to womanhood. This program cultivates a spiritual awareness and empowerment through education. The program focuses on hygiene, education, cultural awareness, sex and sexuality, self-esteem and resilience.
As women, we have an opportunity to learn, be inspired, and possibly even support or mentor young women coming of age, if you are called to do so. Come join us for this presentation and good company of women.
In addition . . . We begin our 3 month
FOOD & CLOTHING DRIVE. . .
in collaboration with BRIDGE. (Berkshire Resources For the Integration of Diverse Groups and Education). To help those in need, we invite you to contribute an article of clothing or non perishable food item.
Please join us for this women's monthly potluck program and bring a friend.
