I posted on Speakershelly site but this is for all of who are interested!

I work for CN Rail in Canada and my company allowed me and my friends to create a video showcasing the women of CN and the non-tradtional jobs we work!

I have supplied it to all the school boards with the by-line:
"there is an entire world of careers that lay between becoming a doctor or lawyer and working in the mall"!

I want them to be inspired to look around at unusual careers-not just the ones they see every day!

I was among the first lady Locomotive Engineers 25 years ago!

Here is the link...click and watch!

What beautiful things.
A few months ago I did a simple project for two weeks where I had an inspirational quote of the day everyday and shared it via Facebook and at my workplace. I had a lot of positive feedback and many people said they found it uplifting. It was a small thing that anyone can do and I think it could be useful in this shared goal.

Hello!

There is a fantastic program in our community that serves this purpose:

http://www.thegirlsempowermentworkshop.com/2007/07/workshop-teaches-girl-empowerment/

This work is the root of revolutionizing women to be all they can, and the leaders of this program could be a valuable resource to help launch similar programs in all communities...

hope this helps!

I too am a single parent which includes an 11 year old daughter. How can I help?I also teach Nursing which primarily consists of young women around 19-20 years old. Feminism is like a dirty word to them. thank you to all of you who work towards a better world for all which begins (I believe) with women at the heart of the village.
Hi Shelly,
This is Merika Reagan, MA, one of the newer braveheart sisters. I am a doctorial student studying psychology and I share your passion. I am in the early phase of dissertation writing and for my dissertation I am creating a Girl Empowerment Program for girls age 13 to 19. I am developing curriculum that gives girls knowledge and skills in five areas. The name of my project is : The Essential Five Areas of Knowledge for Female Development from Early Adolescence to Adulthood - Girl Empowerment Curriculum. The Essential Five Areas are:
1.Knowledge of emotions
2.Knowledge of finances
3.Knowledge of leadership
4.Knowledge of relationships
5.Knowledge of self esteem

When I share my life experiences with people they are always amazed that I did not turn to a life a drugs, homelessness, mental health, prison and so on. My past it filled with foster homes, abuse, and a whole lot of near mishapes with the law but somehow I was able to transend all of it and pursue success. When I think about why that is the case I really do believe it was because of having knowledge in these five basic areas of life that made me different than many of my peers that did not make it.

It is my dream to develop my curriculum, test it, and then use it to make real change. So far I have two local girl empowerment groups that are willing to try the curriculum out but I am still in the developmental phase and should be ready for testing next year.

In the meantime I have dreams of starting a video blog about this topic to gain a current perspective of what teen girls, those that work with teen girls and anyone else thinks about the topic.

I also currently am a volunteer for misssey, inc. misssey (motivating, inspiring, serving and supporting sexually exploited youth) in Oakland, CA. They do amazing work. Please do visit their website for more information. misssey.org

Thanks in advance,
Merika Reagan, MA

I am with you. I work with parents of tweens and teens to use good communication skills to develop a generation of confident, self-aware, youths with bright, fulfilling futures.

I realize this a huge endeavor, however, I believe it is worth it. I would love to collaborate with you on this mission.

God Bless.

Shelley,
I wish you the best of luck, this is a very hard age group to reach with the media focused on bad behavior and trashy,bad girl,vanity issues and ect.
Not saying it cant be done however it truly does take a village and a lot more people like you to get it done.I will do whatever i can to help direct you and answer any questions you may have.
Keep your chin up never quit and keep one foot in front of the other and you will be a success as you already are.

Respectfully,
Antoniak

Hello,

My name is Joann and I am in the right place at the right time. Wow! Empowering young women has been my motto. My heart yearns to do the very same thing so many of you are doing and have a desire to do.

I am 52 yrs of age and have mentored a couple of young women closely, and shared with many from a distance. I believe whole heartly that this is my purpose for living and my soul yearns for it more and more daily.

Being a teen parent myself and facing the ups and downs of being a single parent, a divoree, a widow, a careprovider to many, and a lung cancer survival I believe I have a wealth of experience to share.

My biggest problem seems to be I have no idea where to start. Thus far I only have a associate degree in Psychology and not in the position to further my education. My lack of education amongst other distractions has causes me to feel I can not accomplish my goal. I often think it is a negative force within me that is keeping me from fulfilling God's purpose for my life.

Besides that, my goal has always been to teach and advocate from a spiritual realm because I am nothing without God and therefore, can not do anything without him.

Today I am seeking clarity because regardless to the distractions I have enncounted when I am alone and in the stillness of my being my heart always converts back to being an advocate for young women. My soul cries out simply thinking about it.

Ms. Conrad do you think mentoring and advocating for young women is actually my calling. Do anyone believe that it is a strong possibility that I can fulfill my purpose without furthering my education and if so please provide me with advice on how I can make it happen.

Questions are open to everyone. I personally thought about volunteering in a shelter that service young women and children. Thinking perhaps the children of the parents seeking help could also receive some that could also assist them in being productive and strong individuals in the mist of their parents receiving help by starting with building self-worth.

This is my thought , but I am open to ideas because it may seem that I have it together, yet I fall so short Because after receiving the confirmation and information steppin out on faith will be my challenge. I will then need a mentor myself , Any willing applicants ?

I am starting a GA's group and ACt-teens group for the young girls and young Teen girls at our church. I would appreciate any info I can get to help me with this!! I love working with young ladies as they are our future. What I do is teach them about missions and all about missionary work. We need so many to go out now and the best way to do that is to train them while they are young.
How would you need help..... I would love to help! I am definatley a child and young woman advocate!
