Youth Programs youth programs YWCA Metro St. Louis supports early childhood development and emphasizes selfawareness, self-esteem and racial justice acumen for youth, all of which are means for achieving the organization’s mission to eliminate racism and empower women. YWCA youth programs support and guide the young and are designed to help foster character-building and good citizenship while promoting inclusion and dignity for all. The youth division is comprised of two components targeted at grades K-12. In 2010, approximately 2,800 youth were served through the School-Age Care before- and after-school services and through YW-Teens. 9 YW-Teens Preparing the leaders of tomorrow through the support of young women today is the YW-Teens mantra. Teen development has been a primary goal of YWCA since its founding more than 100 years ago, squarely fitting in the organization’s mission to empower women by touching their lives long before they become adults. YW-Teens helps girls realize their untapped potential. Its core program areas, for girls ages 11-18, are the Young Women’s Leadership Academy, Emerging Entrepreneurs and Young Women’s Leadership Conferences. Young Women’s Leadership Academy consists of components that support the development of girls, ages 11 to18, who are in middle and high schools. Its four components are leadership, personal and career development and college readiness. The combination of these components offer students tools, exercises and resources to assist them in making decisions that result in social, emotional and academic success. YW-Teen programs are conducted in area middle and high schools as after-school programs and/or part of personal development programs during the regular school day. Emerging Entrepreneur Institute is a year-round economic empowerment initiative that introduces area high school students to entrepreneurship through various educational and experiential activities. During the regular school year, students participating in the Career and Technical Education program (CTE) at area St. Louis city high schools are invited to participate in the YW-Teens Emerging Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch Competition, the four-week Emerging Entrepreneur empowering Academy and the Young Entrepreneurs Showcase and mini-conference. The YW-Teens program provides these students with experiences and information that enhance their classroom instruction. Additionally, YW-Teens works closely with instructors to develop strategies that meet the needs of the students. By the end of the program, students are able to develop a business plan for their business concepts. Many of the classroom instructors have replaced their final exams with our women program. and Young Women’s Leadership Conferences offered interactive workshops, dynamic speakers and community resources that aid the growth and development of middle and high school students. Conference highlights include a community resource fair and the recognition of young leaders for their outstanding accomplishments in academics, leadership and community involvement. Young Women’s girls Leadership Conferences are held in May for middle school girls and in November for high school girls. Attendees are drawn from public, private, parochial and charter middle and high schools located throughout the bi-state region.
