A Journey Toward Womanhood: Many Options for Global Girls

By Angela D Coleman | Founder and President

Sisterhood Agenda’s goal is to make sure all teenage girls have access to A Journey Toward Womanhood and the important information that the curriculum contains. We are pleased to announce several ways for our global girls to participate and create safe spaces.

In addition to the localized program implementation offered by Sisterhood Agenda global partners, over 6,000 in 37 countries, Sisterhood Agenda is implementing the program directly to the public via online course format and in two physical locations for in-person teaching and mentoring: Baltimore County and the Virgin Islands.

An information session is held in March 2022 and sign-up is available on our website. We are also coordinating program recruitment, including parent information sessions and distributing flyers in local schools.

As always, we remain flexible and adaptable to changes due to the pandemic. For example, we have changed our program format to increase safety for our team members and program participants by hosting the program as an insulated, overnight summer experience with COVID-19 testing instead of holding shorter, weekly sessions over the course of several months which would allow the participants to consistently leave and return to the group, thus increasing the risk of virus exposure.

While we plan this activity in these new formats, of course, we also remain flexible to the needs of our participants and their families. It is an evolving process for different times. And you know what? It makes us all better.

Why do we do this? It’s for our girls! It’s about community. It’s about connection. We do our best with what we have in the circumstances where we find ourselves. The glass is always half-full and our commitment to quality and service has been steady, motivating us to rise.

Thank you for your continued support with our global girls programming!

New Program Location & Online Programs, Too

By Angela D Coleman | Founder and President

More than ever, we realize that we need a special place to retreat, relax, unwind, and unplug. It is not simply helpful to do so; it is necessary to maintain our physical, emotional, and mental health for self-care and resilience. Girls need this, too, especially for trauma recovery and building resilience, a hallmark of the Global Educational Empowerment for 100,000 Girls project.

While we will host more youth activities in the Virgin Islands when it is COVID-safe, we know that not everyone can come to our SEA: Sisterhood Empowerment Academy on St. John. We agree that this is one of the most peaceful, restorative places in the world!

For a location closer for our U.S.-based global partners, we are expanding to our newest geographical area that is particularly conducive for our holistic health and healing agenda. Fortunately, we found a beautiful location in Baltimore County.

If you would like to help us raise funds for this important new development project, please let us know!

Many of our program participants may still not be able to come to this newest up-and-coming program location in the eastern United States. In-person experiences are often best, but we understand that it may be not feasible for a number of valid and important reasons.

That is okay because we are also doing our best to accommodate girls where they are by launching a series of online programs and courses that are accessible anywhere you can get an Internet connection. In fact, we have a few courses launched already.

We are pleased to announce the following new Sisterhood Agenda online offerings: A Journey Toward Womanhood, A Journey Toward Womanhood Training for Administrators, and How to Relax.

Anyone can join our online community by being a part of our global sisterhood, just like you. Thank you for reading our update and for your continued support! We hope to hear from you and/or see you at a sisterhood activity very soon. Stay safe and thank you for putting Sisterhood on your Agenda!

A Journey Toward Womanhood Now Online

By Angela D Coleman | Founder and President

Sisterhood Agenda is pleased to offer its award-winning A Journey Toward Womanhood program for teenage girls ages 12-17 at sisterhoodagenda.com. We are in the process of announcing the new online program format.

What the world needs now is LOVE! Specifically, self-love.

Self-care? YES!! And more… Sisterhood Agenda educates, supports, and empowers girls with sisterhood, self-knowledge, self-development, and self-esteem.

Girls can register now for the course, which promotes self-esteem, holistic health, life skills, and emotional well-being: https://sisterhoodagenda.com/courses/teen-program-for-girls-a-journey-toward-womanhood/.

Along with other life skills, A Journey Toward Womanhood helps girls to love themselves and each other in the spirit of sisterhood.

We are doing this all online, so girls around the world can join Sisterhood Agenda’s global sisterhood.

Program participants will be eligible for events at Sisterhood Agenda’s SEA: Sisterhood Empowerment Academy in the Virgin Islands, plus educational scholarships and more.

A few of Sisterhood Agenda's A Journey Toward Womanhood testimonials:

"Sisterhood Agenda is an amazing non-profit organization for women and girls of multiple colors. I love the spirit and sisterhood of the organization and how it uplifts all women in a positive way. It helps us define our struggles and think of a plan to persevere. I love Sisterhood Agenda and the personal experiences I’ve had with them. Without Sisterhood, I wouldn’t be the confident, independent, and strong woman I am today! Thank you so much.”

"Nothing in the class was boring. I don't want this class to end because it was fun.”
Program Participant

“Sisterhood Agenda is a great program for African American women and girls. Sisterhood Agenda taught me so much about my heritage, how to boost my self-esteem, and most importantly Sisterhood Agenda taught me to love and respect all of my sisters. It’s a wonderful program and I recommend it to anyone who wants to join. I go on sisterhoodagenda.com daily and check up on the new events happening, which interests me so much. Love Sisterhood!!!!”
Program Participant

"Knowledge, support and self-esteem are crucial. My daughter benefited tremendously from the program and I am certain that others will benefit as much or more. I wholeheartedly support this program [A Journey Toward Womanhood] as a model program.”
Mr. Womble, Middle School Principal

Thank you for your support, especially as we emerge from the coronavirus pandemic, just as strongly committed to our mission as ever before. And still, we rise...
