Strong Women, Strong Girls—Wilkinsburg Boys and Girls Club

Program Description

Strong Women, Strong Girls is an after school program that connects elementary school girls in grades 3 through 5 in mentoring relationships with college women in a structured weekly program. The girls meet with their mentors for 1.5 hours per week and, using a group mentoring model, the girls learn about contemporary and historic women. The girls develop and design a community service learning project that benefits a community of which they are a part. As a final piece of the program, the girls take field trips with their SWSG group.
