​Traditional In-person programming are on hold until further notice due to COVID-19 Pandemic.
Mentoring and empowering at-risk youth is empowering in its self and is at the core of “Phenomenal I Am” program. There are three components we focus on:
-
Identification and Response: Design goals to align with individual needs in hopes to develop personal achievement.
-
Awareness and Education: assist with developing positive consequences in regards to decision making and independent life skills
-
Restore and Recovery: Provide introspection in efforts to achieve a positive self-image and improve overall well-being
The community-based program is designed for a group mentoring model, allowing the opportunity to implement a structured, interactive and evidenced-based curriculum to include workshops, seminars, self-explorations exercises and youth-led discussion groups. PIA focuses on common issues female youth experience such as: self-esteem, building healthy relationships, career exploration, effective communication, self-respect and respect for others, academics, body image, decision making, leadership development, peer mediation, life skills etc. In addition to the program, participants are required to complete community service hours. Programming is geared towards individual needs.
Additionally, participants have the option to engage in one on one mentoring by being matched with an adult female mentor to receive supports in the home, school and the community.
​
Still I Rise Summer Program: Through this 5-week school-based program, PIA offers group mentoring with the purpose of guiding girls through a self-discovery journey that inspires confidence, self-love and passion to be phenomenal while exploring beauty, education, self-esteem, career and health. Recreational activities, fundraising, community service, free breakfast and lunch are included in this program. Applications are available early spring of each year.
