Description

We are currently accepting applications for new members to join our leadership, service and college readiness program. This group meets monthly for leadership workshops and community service projects. Teen girls in the program benefit from connecting with a mentor, assistance throughout the college application process and gain community service hours. We are encouraging local girls to take advantage of this opportunity to develop leadership skills and make a difference in the community.

This program is designed to support students in developing leadership skills while earning community service hours in a structured, meaningful way. Participants will engage in leadership training, learn how to plan and lead volunteer projects, connect with positive mentors, and build essential career preparation and college readiness skills.

Throughout the semester, students will complete 20 hours of community service, including participation in monthly service projects and leadership activities. 

Program highlights include:

  • Leadership skill development and teamwork

  • Planning and leading volunteer and service projects

  • Mentorship and positive role modeling

  • Career exploration and professional skill-building

  • College readiness and goal setting

  • Verified community service hours

Join us for an upcoming information sessions and service fairs to learn more about the program and enrollment process.

January 31 from 12-2pm at Clardy Fox Library (5515 Robert Alva Ave.)
February 7 from 12-2pm at Main Library (501 N. Oregon) 

Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a certificate of completion and a letter of recommendation, which may be used for college, scholarship, or employment applications. Participants who complete all sessions will be eligible to apply for a college scholarship sponsored by the Amigas Making a Difference organization.
