Message and Mentoring Forum for Girls
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the new Women Helping
Women International Inc TAKE AIM website, a discussion and mentoring
forum for teenage women on the Internet at
www.womenhelpingwomen.com/takeaim/index.html. TAKE AIM is dedicated and
committed to building on existing school curricula by encouraging young
women to fully address and explore issues such as: career paths,
entrepreneurship, body image, self expression, technoliteracy,
relationships, culture and diversity and more.
The goals of TAKE AIM are four fold: to provide access for young women
to expert resources both online and in their community through mentoring
and semi-structured moderation by professionals, to promote positive,
healthful approaches to the views young women hold of themselves and
their communities, to provide a resource for teachers, guidance
counsellors, and parents to help them understand adolescent perspectives
and finally, to establish and increased sense of importance for youth
voices.
Currently, Women Helping Women is developing a database of women who are
interested in getting involved in the Take Aim Mentoring Program. Being
an online mentor for a girl interested in your particular career area
provides an excellent opportunity to promote your field of work as well
as, educate, encourage and motivate a young woman to go after her career
aspirations and provide her with the necessary information and resources
to achieve her goals.
Thank you for taking the time to read this information. Should you wish
more information or would like to become an online mentor, please do
not hesitate to contact me at (250) 477-9252 or email me at
sbaikie@womenhelpingwomen.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Shannon Baikie
Take Aim Coordinator
