Girls Leadership Program I
At Marlborough, the future has always been female. We put girls first. The Girls Leadership Program at Marlborough aims to empower and encourage young women to use their strong voices and leadership abilities to make a lasting difference in the world we all share.
Rising 6th and 7th graders will participate in intellectual, physical and artistic activities geared towards developing leadership competencies fueled by the following values: *Authentic Communication, *Courageous Growth, *Empathy and Equity, and *Play.
Through various activities such as public speaking, self-defense, improvisation, rock climbing, visual arts, community outreach, and woodworking, girls will investigate a variety of leadership styles and identify their own personal leadership qualities and attributes.
The Girls Leadership Program is devoted to equipping every girl with the courage, skill, and community to exercise the power of her voice, and to have fun along the way!
Girls Leadership Program II
Leadership II is open to girls entering 7th or 8th grade and students who will have completed Leadership I by the time of the program. In Leadership II, the girls will apply the skills they gained from Leadership I as they create an action plan to affect change in their community.
Girls will start each day discussing a leadership challenge and work in teams to determine how they will address that challenge. They will then participate in skill-based workshops to hone their public speaking, collaboration, and advocacy skills.
The girls will develop a plan to make a change in their community and end the week by presenting a pitch on how they plan to impact change. Students will also reflect on their own leadership style and think about who they would like to be as a leader. They will have the opportunity to interview female leaders in Los Angeles and learn from real-world leaders as they develop their goals and skills.
In Leadership II, girls will be leaders throughout the week and walk away inspired and prepared to continue on a path of leadership.
