Girls for Gender Equity is a nonprofit organization located in Restoration Plaza 1360 Fulton Street, Suite 314. GGE empowers women of all ages and educates them with will power, womanhood, and self-respect. GGE is committed to the physical, psychological, social and economic development of girls and women. Through education organizing and physical fitness, GGE encourages communities to remove barriers and create oppurtunities for girls and women to live self determined lives...

Sisters in Strength is a paid community internship program for teen women ages 15-19. The young women develop leadership and mentoring abilities by assisting in running the Urban Leaders After-School program. The participants learn to be agents of social change by deciding on, planning, and implementing a grassroots organizing project. They also participate in skills-building workshops to receive assistance in applying to college, increase their financial literacy, and become more informed about political and social issues that affect them.

OMG The PAR trip to the poconos was sooo much fun. We should definitely do it again. It was a great learning experience; the meeting was very informative. The best part of the meeting was when we played with some examples of research methods (i.e. the Focus Groups and Personal Interviews.) I enjoyed spending time learning more about the SIS members. I will always remeber when we sat down roasted the marshmellows and told our crazy stories in the dimmed light. I will specially remember afterwards when Mandy shut off all the lights in the house by "accident" (NOT COOL!!!) I think all the girls are very diverse and different. But somehow we all can sit down and relate to each other on levels that we never expected. Everyone in the group is mad cool!!! MUAHZZZ V3R0N1C@
