KENNESAW,
Ga. – The Success, Helpful, Empowerment Organization at Kennesaw State
University has created a mentoring program for girls at East Cobb Middle School
called Dream Girls.
The S.H.E. Organization created by
Ashley Johnson is an organization aiming to empower young women in today’s
society. One of the programs the organization has created to meet that goal is their
Dream Girls program.
The Dream Girls program at East Cobb
Middle School is a relaxed after school program for the young girls to express themselves
and bond with each other according to Johnson.
“We
try our best to encourage the girls, and become outlets for the many things
they deal with,” S.H.E. member Halle Cross said. “By the end of each semester
the girls have built new friendships with the other girls as well as the
mentors.”
Some of the topics addressed in the
program are self-confidence, healthy eating, and bullying according to Cross. Kameron
Buckner, president of the S.H.E. Organization, also adds that the program
encourages the girls to create vision boards, participate in fitness programs
and have open discussions to become well rounded young women.
At the end of each year, the
students of the Dream Girls program have their own graduation from the program
to acknowledge all the success the girls have had throughout the year.
