“Girl PowHER has helped me develop new group strategies and show my creative skills outside school and home.”
“I love leading the Girl PowHer group at GCMS! Our girls are smart, curious, and creative! I always look forward to Wednesdays and the conversations and camaraderie during our sessions fills my bucket for the week. I can tell that Girl PowHER makes a difference in the lives of these girls, as they always eagerly ask me what we will be up to in the week ahead. They’ve had the opportunity to engage in creative projects, team building activities, and an archery day. They also volunteered to help set up for the school craft fair, supported their fellow students by attending the school play and they are currently preparing a dress out of alternative materials for Project Funway. I am grateful to the Vail Valley Foundation for providing this opportunity to the girls at Gypsum Creek.”
“I think Girl PowHER means knowing your worth, other girls, and learning not to tear each other down. Girl PowHER is important to me right now because we are going through a time when we’re very insecure and as a result tear each other down.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with PwrHrs the past two years and have enjoyed the activities and getting to know kids I don’t work with on a daily basis. This year I was asked to facilitate GirlPowHER as well, and that has just enhanced my experience. Building a different relationship with the girls has increased their confidence in and outside the classroom. Working with Power Hours in all capacities helps build a community within our school and in the classroom.”
“Girl PowHER is a great way to build self-confidence and to have time with other girls. It has helped me build patience.”
“I come to Girl PowHER to take a break from the chaos that is everyday life and to have a safe place to talk and learn. I like learning about stereotypes that plague girls today and how to combat them.”
“I love going to Girl PowHER because I get to express myself and have learned to believe in myself.”
