YWLP Event Volunteer Opportunity!

Good afternoon,

The Young Women Leaders Program (YWLP) needs help from our UCF community! 

YWLP is a mentoring program that is housed within the UCF Women's Studies Program.  We work at three area middle schools and pair 7th grade girls with UCF women to develop a "sisterhood" of love and support as well as fostering an environment of developing lifelong leadership skills. 

This year, we were fortunate to have received a national grant from the American Association of University Women called the Campus Action Project grant.  Through this grant, we are hosting a workshop called "Leading Out Loud (L.O.L.): YWLP's Campaign to Draw Lines Against Bullying and Harassment."

Our current YWLP middle school student participants will be co-leading this workshop with their mentors to an audience of over 100 local fifth grade girls and boys!  We want all students to have the skills and courage to STEP UPSPEAK OUT, and STOMP OUT BULLYING in their schools!

We are extremely excited to have this opportunity to reach out to our community but in order to do so, we need some help from our Knights! 
Attached is the flier for the event containing important detailed information. PLEASE post this filer and/or share with others (feel free to forward this email as well).  We are in NEED of men and women to volunteer!
Thank you for your time and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Go Knights!
