Do you like working with kids? Do you enjoy analyzing media and sharing knowledge with others? Do you want to make a lasting impact on a girl's life? Each week, you and a co-leader will travel to a local middle school and work with a group of about eight girls focusing on strength based approaches such as coalition building, identifying allies and ally qualities, and social activism. These techniques and experiences not only empower girls by recognizing their strengths, but move them beyond media literacy to social activism increasing their sense of agency. With the guidance of the Hardy Girls' curriculum, you will facilitate discussions involving media analysis, body image, girl fighting, and social justice.
This service learning opportunity is roughly 2-3 hours a week including preparation, implementation, and processing. This service learning experience will also involve opportunities for advocacy and increasing girls' access to resources, as well as an increased understanding of systems of oppression that marginalize populations.
