General Resources
The following site covers a broad range of related topics, and is strongly recommended.
- www.girlpower.gov - This is the homepage for Girl Power!, the national public education campaign sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The campaign's goal is to help encourage and motivate 9-to-14-year-old girls to make the most of their lives. Girls at 8 or 9 typically have very strong attitudes about their health, so Girl Power! seeks to reinforce and sustain these positive values throughout the years that immediately follow. The campaign targets health messages to the unique needs, interests, and challenges of young girls.
- www.ycwa.org - The website of "Youth Crime Watch" which is a youth-led movement to create a crime-free, drug-free environment in our schools and neighborhoods. Youth Crime Watch brings youth of all backgrounds together to identify and correct problems unique to their schools and communities. The YCW program empowers youth to take an active role in addressing the problems around them. Youth take ownership of their own YCW program for their school, neighborhood, public housing site, recreational center or park.
