What Are We Up To Now?
Crazy how times flies, doesn't it. We are so grateful you have held us up for this long, and could not be happier to have you as part of our community. We could not have gotten here without you, and we are truly appreciative of your support thus far.
So much has been happening over the past few weeks to months. Many upgrades, changes and adjustments.
As we start to count down to our official 5th Anniversary celebrations, we just wanted to share a few highlights of new and excited changes within I Am A Girl.
- We now have a new home base, which continues to create a safe space for girls and houses our main programming elements, you support.
- We have increased our team members and mentors pool, which means persons are strategically in place to help grow our operational capacity and support our beneficiaries.
- We have expanded our 50 More Leadership Programme regionally, using S.T.E.A.M, where we duplicated our youth conference in St. Lucia, for Human Rights Day 2018, and we will be doing the same in Dominica during April 2019.
- We have some absolutely amazing donors, like yourselves, that have held us up, and we will continue to highlight you.
Where Are We Going?
In the last few weeks we have either started or will be starting quite elements to this project, as listed below:
- A legacy fellowship, which will see mentee representatives trained and conducting Mental Health research and showcases on a peer to peer basis.
- A programming pilot conducted every Tuesday, after school, for this term, at a local secondary school, lead by past mentees and peer leaders, based on the principles laid out in the Generation Y Girls' Club model.
- An internship opportunity, or a few, for mentees within the organisation, to learn from within about how social enterprises operate.
- A series of job shadowing opportunities, with varying corporate sector partners in Barbados, to assist with expanding the vision of our girls.
- Capacity Building through travel, where some mentees will have opportunities to travel for a cause and establish more comprehensive understandings of life, through first time experiences.
How Can You Help?
We of course, continue to welcome your collaboration and support. Some ways you can continue to get involved are:
- Spread the word with family, friends, co-workers and associates, who may have resources to offer.
- Work with us by offering your expertise, skills and experiences, that would allow us to grow and learn in fundraising, advocacy and/or any other areas required for growth.
- Become a recurring donor, if you have not done so already, where your continual support, aids with sustaining programming.
- Complete a good deed each week, whether for girls or youth in general, as it adds tremendous value to their development, as we at our optimum when we are in service to others.
- Share some ideas you may have, with how we can celebrate our official 5th Anniversary coming up (October 2019). It is always great to hear different perspectives, especially from our dedicated Champions of Impact.
As we start a brand new year and chapter in I Am A Girl, we look forward to having you, our community, previous, current and new partners and stakeholders on board to help us learn, develop and prosper.
As usual on behalf of the entire I Am A Girl Barbados Community and the Board of Trustees, we thank you for your service and support; until we connect with you again. Stay blessed!
