SEA: Sisterhood Empowerment Academy

Good day everyone!  Sisterhood Agenda is thrilled to coordinate its rebuilding process with our donors, contractors and natural disaster resource agencies. 

Honestly, it has been a struggle.  However, we are hopeful that this peaceful, serene space for trauma-informed educational, health and healing activities for women and girls will be restored to its former glory.  It's our SEA:  Sisterhood Empowerment Academy and we need it.

We understand that this enormous process (hurricane relief, recovery and rebuilding) takes time, especially on the tiny island of St. John where there are limited local resources.  This is what makes St. John a special, although sometimes challenging, place to live and work.

It is our hope that our hurricane repairs will be completed by the next hurricane season-June 2018.  The next hurricane season is rapidly approaching. 

While we realize that these things are out of our control, we maintain our optimism.  It helps to have an awesome builder!

Thank you all for your support during our recovery and rebuilding process. It means a lot to us.

Sincerely,
Angela D. Coleman
Founder & President

Sisterhood Agenda has recently set up an administrative office in the Baltimore-Washington geographical area while repairs to our SEA:  Sisterhood Empowerment Academy on St. John, USVI are being completed. Our new telephone number is (833) 3-SISTER, (833) 374-7837 and we have a stateside mailing address in addition to our Virgin Islands location.

With efficient communications in place, Sisterhood Agenda is poised to provide much-needed services to our constituents including, but not limited to:  schools, organizations, health agencies, and NGO's.  Our stateside constituents are particularly excited about our new accessibility for training and resource-sharing.

Training activities include curriculum guide reviews, teacher/mentor engagement strategies, and facilitator preparation for program implementation. 

Sisterhood Agenda's training specifically prepares program administrators for the realities that they face working with women and girls today.  Trauma and stress are common experiences for today's young women.  Sisterhood Agenda is also working on creating a psychological first aid training module, similar to the one used when Sisterhood Agenda team members provided hurricane relief for residents on St. John after Hurricane Irma.

Gaining knowledge, building resilience, establishing positive peer support, and coordinating an extensive support network are some of the program goals at the SEA:  Sisterhood Empowerment Academy.

Thank you for making SEA resources available for those who need it most.
