| G.A.P.P.: Girls Achieving Personal Power |
Description:
Young ladies in our community need strong leadership, direction
and development of self-worth. Developing a sense of self-worth
in each participant is the basis of G.A.P.P. program. The G.A.P.P.
program is designed to educate, train, empower, and involve females,
ages 7-17 years, in acquiring the skills necessary to refrain
from unhealthy activities.
Curriculum:
The program curriculum will focus on issues that young girls face
during each developmental stage of life. Knowing what to expect
developmentally will encourage girls to develop appropriate expectations
and empower them to make healthy choices. With these developmental
changes, participants become aware of their need for increased
independence, more power in making decisions, more responsibility,
and more planning for future education and job preparation.
Purpose:
The G.A.P.P. program will provide educational classes at the five
area schools within the targeted neighborhood. The objective is
to promote and maintain positive self-worth, to increase the use
of personal power in a positive way, increase awareness regarding
sexual self-worth, to educate participants of reasons why people
abuse drugs and alcohol. The G.A.P.P. program provides exposure
to other females demonstrating their use of positive personal
power in the Lubbock community.
Target Area:
Girls living in the 79415 zip code or youth that attend the following
elementary schools: Tubbs, Wolffarth, Jackson, McWhorter, and
Cavazos.
