Power of Being YOU
Helping female identifying youth in our community realize there is power in being YOU.
The YMCA of Three Rivers is proud to offer a community conference called Power of Being YOU to young female identifying youth in Guelph-Wellington. This is a YWCA signature event has been delivered in our Guelph community 11 times (and counting). Over the years this conference has helped thousands of young women realize there is power in being YOU. We are proud to partner with the YWCA to continue to provide this important event.
Overview and Goals
For most young women, the teenage years often represent a difficult and challenging phase. The YMCA of Three Rivers Power of Being YOU Conference brings together 200 female identifying youth from grades 7 and 8 to discuss matters that affect girls and young women. The goal is to ensure that participants leave the day feeling fully supported, empowered and with the self-confidence to be themselves.
