EVERY GIRL Every Girl is YWCA’s 8 week national young women’s program promoting civic engagement, human rights, strengths and personal voice. In 2013/2014 Every Girl was delivered with groups of school girls at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College where 1 program was delivered in Term 4 2013 and at Mt Compass Area School where 2 programs were delivered in Term 2 2014. 43 girls participated in the program and implemented community events to raise awareness about important community issues. At Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College participants held a bake sale which raised awareness and money for Fred’s Van, providing meals for homeless South Australians. At Mt Compass Area School the two programs combined to hold a pancake and cupcake sale to raise awareness and money for RSPCA. Thanks to Every Girl facilitators, Fiona Mulholland, Claire Tatyzo and Bryony Gibson for their inspired delivery this year. Every Girl is funded by the Federal Office for Women with support from YWCA Australia.
