GIRL SCOUTS

Young Divas deconstruct gender roles, expectations, and stereotypes.  We help them think critically and assist making decisions on how to  look, act, and be based on their individual thoughts and feelings rather  than on societal expectations. Young divas learn the historical origins  of stereotypes, how to think critically, and the importance of seeing  people as individuals will help them challenge stereotypes. They also  learn self-love and first response techniques to protect themselves.

Our young Divas define a healthy relationship; set boundaries for  themselves in relationships. They learn to use alternatives to language  that hurts others and use language they are proud of helps facilitate  effective communication and can help them avoid conflict. In addition,  they are trained to defend themselves from bullies.

They identify family, community, and school supports to assist with being a Fierce Girl who makes safe decisions when using technology such as apps and online  games. Young Divas learn about potential dangers of the internet; plan  how they will stay safe when using the internet. We discuss cyber  predators and identity theft prevention.

Empowerment and personal value are instilled in this segment which  introduces young Divas to application of learned techniques in real-life  situations. The young Divas grasp the importance of personal safety,  awareness and boundary setting in their day-to-day lives. The best way  to avoid danger is to realize it before it happens. The final course in  this four-part series expedites response time and teaches situation  awareness in society.
