Within Power to Pursue, there's a shared understanding that women of all ages require a nurturing environment to learn, grow, and celebrate themselves.
Our goal with P2P Teens is to create and maintain safe spaces where young women can engage in open discussions about topics of direct importance to them. We’re doing this in collaboration with organizations who serve and program teen initiatives. Join us and learn what’s next!
Upcoming Events
Power to Pursue is thrilled to offer programming for female identifying individuals between the ages of 10 and 18. Our mission is to establish and maintain safe spaces where young women can openly discuss topics that matter to them.
Join us on on Saturday, January 11th from 10:00-1:00 at MadTree in Oakley!
Vision boarding is a perfect way to set the stage for healthy manifesting at a young age. Creativity runs wild in this workshop! This workshop will engage your teen, with a hype kick-off from a special guest.
We provide all of the necessary supplies for participants to lay out their year, their vision, and their goals. All supplies/materials are included in the cost, but all are welcome to bring any embellishments that align with your vision and enhance your board. Light bites will be available throughout the event. Bring a friend (or 3!) or come solo and meet a new friend!
Sign your pre-teen or teen up and help broaden the scope of empowerment, encompassing young women and girls, because waiting until you're an adult to access safe communities that support growth and healing cannot be the norm.
