YWCA Girl Power! Program announced its summer programs. The 2010 summer camp, YWCA will be implementing Girl’s Inc Leadership and Community Action, in collaboration with the YWCA Minneapolis. This program enables girls to join in partnership with women leaders in Duluth to develop and practice leadership/advocacy skills. Leadership and Community Action is an experiential curriculum driven by the girls own planning process ─ they have ownership and it partners them with women leaders from the community. The partners (girls and women leaders) will decide what issues to address. For more information about Girls Inc, go to www.girlsinc.org

Girl Power is for girls ages 9 through 15 and located at Washington Center at 310 N. 1st Ave. West. Transportation can be arranged within YWCA boundaries. It is offered based on a sliding fee scale.
