The Girls Empowerment Network is seeking volunteers to co-facilitate weekly programs with girls starting August 2019.
The mission of the Girls Empowerment Network (GEN) is to ignite the power in girls by teaching them the skills to thrive and believe in their ability to be unstoppable. GEN equips girls in grades 3-12 with the skills they need to navigate girlhood; helps girls foster healthy, supportive bonds with one another; and surrounds girls with relatable role models who provide support, inspiration, and guidance.
Volunteering with Girls Empowerment Network Weekly Programs.
Once a week, volunteers will facilitate interactive sessions which incorporate a research-based curriculum designed exclusively for GEN. With support from the GEN Program Manager and volunteers, GEN equips girls in grades 3-12 with the skills they need to navigate girlhood.
Volunteer Description
As a GEN volunteer, you will attend weekly sessions at a local school and act as a co-facilitator alongside the GEN Program Manager, all while forming encouraging and caring relationships with the girls in the program. Volunteers lead ice breakers, activities, facilitate discussions, and provide assistance to the GEN Program Manager on-site.
As a volunteer you can choose to volunteer in either of the following ways:
- Co-facilitate a weekly after school group that takes place between the hours of 3PM – 5:30PM and lasts for 2 hours.
- Co-facilitate a weekly school group that takes place during the school day (between 9AM-3PM) and last for 1½ hours.
Volunteer Training
Our next upcoming training is scheduled for July 27, 2019 from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Important note: you will be assigned to a specific school and will be required to commit to the same time and day every week for the entirety of the semester. Consistency is key for the girls we serve and we want to ensure that volunteers are able to commit to our programs and the girls they work with.
