  • Girls Talk Back Leadership Program

    IN 2019, WFH LAUNCHED A COLLABORATIVE GIRLS' LEADERSHIP PROGRAM CALLED "GIRLS TALK BACK." IN 2023, WFH AND ITS PARTNERS HELD TWO SESSIONS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM, ONE IN-PERSON AND ONE ONLINE ALLOWING GIRLS FROM OTHER ISLANDS OUTSIDE OF OAHU TO PARTICIPATE. THE PROGRAM BRINGS TOGETHER THE CONCEPTS OF LEADERSHIP, FEMINISM, PEACE-BUILDING, MENTORSHIP, AND ACTION- PLANNING. GIRLS TALK BACK ENCOURAGES AND TEACHES GIRLS TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF CONCERN IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS TEEN MENTAL HEALTH, HUNGER, OR RACISM, AND BUILD A PLAN TO ADDRESS IT. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE ADVICE OF AN ADULT WOMAN MENTOR FROM THE COMMUNITY, WHO MEETS WITH THE GIRLS ONCE A WEEK (OR MORE, IF THEY MUTUALLY DESIRE IT).
