The High School Outreach program works to promote the well being and intellectual growth of local high school girls. Presentations and discussions on a variety of topics are used to help the girls and volunteers learn more about themselves as well as the society we live in. Body image, nutrition, physical and mental health, relationships and college are all examples. The program strives to build connections between the high school girls and USD women so that each lends support and learns from one another. Volunteers help to lead discussions of small groups, provide academic tutoring, and are welcome to participate in the large group activities as well. Meetings are once a week on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 2:30-3:30pm at High Tech High Media Arts. Volunteers are also expected to be at workshops once a month to develop their own leadership skills.

I am a junior majoring in Political Science and Spanish, minoring in Sociology. My first glimpse of the Women's Center was at the end of my first year when I volunteered to be a panelist for a group of high school girls on healthy relationships. When the group "Hermanas" and the Women's Center decided to partner with one another, I jumped aboard and have loved every minute of working with them. My goal this year is to expand our volunteer base.
