Global Educational Empowerment for 100,000 Girls

Greetings! Please find updated information about Sisterhood Agenda, Sisterhood Agenda’s Global Strategy, the Sisterhood Empowerment Project, Sisterhood Agenda’s Global Training Academy launch in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Sisterhood Agenda’s new website.

PROJECT SUMMARY: PLEASE BECOME A FUNDER! Sisterhood Agenda’s Sisterhood Empowerment Project is the only project of its kind: it is a large-scale, holistic, female-centered approach to empowering girls, young women, parents, and educators using proven programmatic strategies combined with cultural relevance and positive, alternative media, all implemented at the grassroots, community level.

NEW ACTIVITIES During the last two months, Sisterhood Agenda constructed and conducted a Global Strategy Survey and the results revealed the fact that the A Journey Toward Womanhood teen program is the most popular program. Results also indicted that constituents desire more positive media and online experiences, along with willingness and means to travel to the U.S Virgin islands. As a result, Sisterhood Agenda has planned future activities.

Sisterhood Agenda continually adds new Global Network members and new Global Partners to our ever-expanding community of sisters and those who support sisters. This year, Sisterhood Agenda continues to work with the local U.S. Virgin Islands government and local grassroots organizations to launch Sisterhood Agenda’s Global Training Academy. Currently, new partners are being identified and a benefit concert is planned to launch the Global Training Academy. New activities, available to everyone, are being planned in the Virgin Islands, coordinated with the benefit concert. These exciting activities will bring Sisterhood Agenda Global Partners together from all over the globe, something that they have been asking for during the last several years.

Sisterhood Agenda’s new website will be multimedia, participatory, and constantly changing with new content. It will also include online Global Training Academy activities such as empowerment programs, videos, blogs, talent identification and development. It’s exciting!
