this is the description

The second annual Young Women’s Empowerment Academy (YWEA) 2008 was a great success. Young women (between the ages of 12 and 16) attended their choice of three of three workshops on topics like

  • West African Drumming
  • Healthy Body Image & Self Esteem
  • Physics Fun

After lunch, the afternoon was filled with fun as participants learned about the University of Arizona campus searching for clues and answers in a treasure adventure about famous women!

Parents & Caregivers were also invited to participate in a 1-hour program specifically geared towards supporting families in raising strong women.
