Yes I Can: Leadership for Teens Ages 13-17 Years

The Women’s Learning Partnership (WLP) has developed curriculum designed to develop skills that will help empower young women to realize their own potential in improving not only their own lives, but also in transforming their communities. This manual helps participants (both girls and boys) develop collective solutions to challenges faced by their communities, nurture new norms of gender equality in their families, and engage in political processes for building just, peaceful, and democratic societies. The manual is adaptable to a wide-range of learning environments and includes interactive workshop sessions and guidelines for facilitators. Workshop sessions emphasize creativity, knowledge-sharing, and partnership building, to help participants develop greater self-confidence, learn how to communicate effectively, build leadership skills, and identify areas where they can exercise leadership.
