The Girls Inc. of Worcester’s mission is to support girls to navigate successfully through the challenges of growing up female, of inspiring girls to dream big dreams and gain the skills and confidence to achieve them, and to, with them, be their voice in the community. Inspiring all girls to be strong (healthy), smart (educated), and bold (independent) by offering quality research-based programs in a safe environment and providing opportunities for girls to take healthy risks, build leadership skills and master physical, intellectual, social and emotional challenges. Girls Promoting Safety (GPS) is a strength-based violence prevention education program that uses evidence-based curricula to teach middle school girls the resiliency skills and traits needed to avoid being victims of violence and engaging in risky behaviors. In this panel, Janelle seeks to share her findings on the GPS program. She also aims to discuss the connections she developed, skill set she learned, and the challenges she faced during her internship working at a non-profit organization.
