Young Women's Leadership Program
WHS Cultivating Young Women Leaders in Northern, CA
The Young Women’s Leadership Program
draws on the expertise of local social service agencies and clinic peer
health educators in a comprehensive program detailing STD, HIV and
pregnancy prevention information in a culturally sensitive and competent
manner. The program's focus is on active youth participation and the
sharing of relevant youth knowledge, with adult providers helping to
create a dynamic, interactive process.
The program participants will benefit
from facilitators who bring a women-centered, feminist analysis to
reproductive healthcare. Experienced clinic staff members who function
in a woman-controlled environment will share their work, knowledge and
influence, eventually expanding the sphere of leaders and the youth
movement. This leadership model is unique, where the clinical service
providers are the significant feminist leadership in their community and
use developmental assets in a new and exciting way to build a steadfast
foundation of knowledge for new youth leaders.
Quotes from Past Participants"The Young Women’s Leadership Program helped me to be able to speak for myself and my body and empower others.” Diane Intharinh, Program Participant
"This training has taught me so much...I learned how much women
look to other women for support and how important that bond is because
we all go through the same things, we all have the same questions and we
are all human…” Mary Ann, Program Participant
