After School Girls Programs Information (2020-2021)
Welcome to the Women’s Centre’s Girls Programs! The programs are free of charge and all girls are welcome.
The goal of the Women’s Centre’s Girls Programs (the “Programs”) is to provide opportunities for girls (the “Participants”) to connect with each other to build community, learn about social action, practice leadership and uncover their strengths and skills. We will cover topics like gender, identity, relationships, body image, and offer opportunities to engage in arts, dance, yoga, crafts, STEAM related activities, and more. Girls will also have opportunities to lead workshops and activities, as well as work on social action projects. As our Programs are girl-led, discussion topics and activities are shaped by the Participants’ expressed interest. As such, while human sexuality is not an identified topic in the program, if Participants raise questions, they will be addressed.
We are offering programs for two age groups with in-person and online options. * Please note that due to rising Covid-19 concerns in Alberta, all in-person programs have been moved online for the time being. We will send the participants all craft supplies necessary to enjoy the programs from home.
