Hardy Girls Healthy Women Inc

Coalition groups: contracted workshops facilitated by trained volunteers who meet weekly with elementary and middle school girls and non-binary youth. The groups discuss media literacy, gender stereotypes and how to proactively change the culture around them through social action projects. Coalition group participants are self-identifying girls and non-binary youth from schools in the greater bangor, waterville, and mount desert regions. Groups generally meet in their schools during lunch, recess, or occasionally before instruction begins for the day.

Spring conference: our spring conferences are designed to support 5th-8th grade girls and nonbinary youth, and they are entirely planned and run by the high schoolers on the feminist action board (fab). Fab members self-select topics that are relevant to maine girls and nonbinary youth and spend several months developing content for the workshops that they lead on conference day. In addition to experiencing the workshops and presentations, attendees gain valuable skills at our action spot stations. The conferences give girls and nonbinary youth the opportunity to connect and coalition-build.
