Teen Advocates Sharing Knowledge TEEN ADVOCATES SHARING KNOWLEDGE The YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women and girls, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. The YWCA Malden was established in 1927 and is one of the longest serving nonprofits in the Mystic Valley area. The YWCA TASK (Teen Advocates Sharing Knowledge) program captures these principles in this girl only program. The TASK program is for Malden High School girls in grades 9-12. This peer leadership program provides opportunities for girls to become leaders in their community. TASK provides a unique opportunity for girls to become engaged in their community while building self-esteem and confidence to blossom into successful adulthood. It is important for girls to develop relationships that promote social and emotional health while promoting positive youth development. This girl only program has proven to be successful because girls receive the maximum benefit when they participate in a girl only program where they're free to express themselves, ask questions, and take on leadership roles they might not otherwise. It is important for girls to be role models in their community and the YWCA provides them with that opportunity. This program allows girls to be connected on a number of platforms with peer-to-peer connections. TASK offers public speaking training, career exploration, and connections with local and state organizations. Gun Violence Prevention TASK held a Town Hall Meeting at the Malden Teen Enrichment Center (MTEC), bringing together local officials and experts to foster understanding and collaboration to address these challenges. Engaging youth and community members in discussions empowers them to voice their concerns and contribute to solutions in regard to youth safety. What about HER? With funding provided by a grant from the Greater Boston Council on Alcoholism, our TASK girls spoke with women in recovery from substance use, and gave them a greater platform to learn about what it truly means to be in recovery. These images from locations in Malden are paired with the YWCA TASK girl’s personal narratives to create a compelling visual and emotional representation of youth substance use disorder (SUD), where adolescents or young adults misuse drugs or alcohol in ways that negatively impact their lives. Overcoming youth substance abuse disorder is a deeply personal and often complex journey, but it’s absolutely possible with the right support, understanding, and resources. (see the QR code for support). This project was made possible by the generosity from the Greater Boston Council on Alcoholism. Faces of Recovery This project began with funding by a grant from the Greater Boston Council on Alcoholism. TASK Advisor/Malden is Moving! Coordinator, Chris Murphy, and Malden Overcoming Addiction, worked collaboratively in designing this project. Their goal was to raise awareness of substance use disorders.
