Providing a Pathway Forward
SHEKonnect is a 4-tier program that will instill supportive services and opportunities that will allow girls to gain confidence, self-esteem, and important life skills that can help them navigate through their daily lives. Each tier is designed to give each girl an opportunity to participate in several mini workshops, mentoring groups, friendship circles, etc. and acquire skills that will carry them on their own personal journey to success.
The girls will gain valuable experience through learning a range of life skills from simple daily living, such as personal development, healthy eating, time management, money matters, holding down their first part time job, learning about college, internships, and job search techniques that will have a measurable impact in their lives.
