Summit for a Better Tomorrow
We, the teens, are committed to changing today for a better tomorrow. Join us for hands-on activities and collaboration to make a difference in our community and world.
Rising 8th graders through graduating seniors are invited to come together with like-minded people to envision a path to a better tomorrow. The keynote speaker for the summit is Loretta Claiborne, an American global speaker and multi-sport athlete who competes in the Special Olympics She has been honored with the 1996 Arthur Ashe ESPY Courage Award presented to her by Denzel Washington Carla Christopher, Bitsy Sanders , and Ky the Chemist will lead our participants (check out her web page at https://kythechemistcom) through a fun, interactive, future-focused workshop The fee is $75 and registration is required. The workshop runs July 28-July 31, from 9 am - 1 pm.
Bitler’s work stems from an appetency for nature and cultivates his attraction to shape, color, and texture. Simplistic forms become transformed through his use of dark line pyrography, the intricate cut-out of negative space and the application of vibrant colors, leaving the admirer with a tribute to nature’s beauty Bitler’s exploration with raw gourds as a canvas and his honing of the skills and processes of crafting them into works of art has spanned over more than a decade.

GirlsLovingLife
Every session of Girls Loving Life offers participants a new opportunity to build character, develop confidence, and have fun. Nanci Mart and Marcia Knorr, along with the high school-aged mentors, create lessons and activities to help young girls grow into capable, compassionate, smart women.
The theme for the most recent session was courage Throughout the eight weeks, GLLers were encouraged to find and use their courage in several ways, including practicing how to speak honestly and respectfully in “scary” situations, and learning techniques to branch out and meet new people who will accept them for who they are
GLL was delighted to have Joe Dressel, owner of Hanover Boxing Club, help the girls learn the connection between courage and being prepared. Preparation allows us to visualize potential outcomes and develop contingency plans, which helps us feel more in control. This sense of control diminishes fear and makes courageous action more accessible. While Joe’s presentation focused on the importance of avoiding unsafe situations, he taught the girls skills and techniques to use if they needed to.
February was Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. GLL partnered with Shanda White, from YWCA Hanover Safe Home, to teach the GLLers about boundaries: what we’re willing to accept for ourselves and others, and how to be strong when boundaries are pushed. She led a Lego building activity to illustrate the need for open communication - both speaking and listening - in a healthy relationship. Most of our GLLers are not of dating age, but it's never too soon to teach girls it’s okay to stand up for themselves.
GLL is designed for girls in grades 2-8 Whether you have an outgoing, high-energy, willing-to-try-anything child or a quiet, introspective, cautious child, the teachers and mentors of Girls Loving Life will meet her where she is and help her discover her unique strengths, build confidence, and develop lifelong skills in a supportive community where she can thrive Our program emphasizes personal growth through creative expression and meaningful friendships, all while encouraging girls to embrace challenges and celebrate their authentic selves
High school girls interested in joining GLL as mentors need only to have a passion for mentoring and a commitment to creating a positive impact in younger girls' lives. Our mentors are role models for our five tenets: love yourself, love your body, love others, love learning and growing, and love life. High school students gain valuable experience in leadership, empathy, and community service while fostering meaningful connections across age groups.
The next session of Girls Loving Life runs from October 4 - November 22. Registration is available on YWCA Hanover’s website, ywcahanover.org, under the Programs tab.
MeetShanda,ourPrevention andOutreachAdvocate
