Related to my article on the ManKind Project, this article appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch covering the Girls Rock, a mentoring program for teenage girls.
From the Girls Rock web site:
Our Society can be a pretty tough place
The media sends a crazy mix of messages. School is full of pressures..Friends pull in a thousand different directions.
No one knows this better than the young girl in your life. We believe all girls are unique, creative and full of promise.
They will change the world
But along the way there will be some terrific challenges. For some girls, the messages and pressures of the coming years can crush their spirits, and dampen their potential. Please, let us stand with your daughter, your little sister, your friend or young woman in your life.
I know some of the women running this program, and some of the girls who have been through it in the past, and heartily recommend it.
