Young Ladies it is Your Time to Shine

 

The development of young teenage girls from ages 13 to 18 years of age is the group I focused on for my first blog. These formative years are crucial young girls establishing themselves as responsible adults. I think everyone can agree with me that it is hard to be a teenager in todays society. In class discussed teens are stuck doing the jobs nobody wants to do and for low wages, but hey they have to pay for those smart phones somehow. Giving young girls a resource made up of economic literacy programs that allows them the opportunity to gain confidence and a strong sense of self. My article talks about 6 great programs from New York to Miami for young girls, they provide mentoring programs in positive settings that will protect girls at this crucial point of their lives. Programs like B.A.R.T. (being a responsible teen) whose mission statement is, “Improving the World One Girl at a Time”, Sadie Nash Leadership Project, and Girls Inc. are motivated to teaching teenage girls how to prepare for the harsh world we all struggle at times to survive.
