February 2005 Community Crusade - The Women's BuildingThis February, KUSF's Community Crusade highlights the work of The Women's Building. The Women's Building is a multi-cultural service center for women and girls. Their mission is to provide women and girls with the tools and resources they need to achieve full and equal participation in society, in a setting where diversity is cultivated and encouraged.
The Women's Building is the only place in San Francisco that offers both the physical and emotional space for women, regardless of age, sexuality, race, or class, to build their own community. Their Community Resource Room provides women with comprehensive access to information, resources, and services that can help them achieve their goals.
The Women's Building has a Drop-in Childcare Center offering families affordable childcare services. And during February, The Women's Building plays host to the San Francisco IndieFest, a program of independent films with a focus on current social and cultural issues.
You can contribute to the important work of The Women's Building by making a contribution, donating items to the Community Thrift Store on Valencia at 17th Street, or volunteering your time to help women and families. For more information, please call (415) 431-1180 ext. 15, or visit www.womensbuilding.org.
February 2005 Community Crusade - GirlVenturesThis February, KUSF's Community Crusade spotlights the good work of GirlVentures. GirlVentures is a non-profit organization that helps girls sustain their clarity, voice and self-confidence during the difficult transition to adolescence.
GirlVentures provides programs designed to help each girl regain and sustain her "true self" by developing and expressing her strengths. They provide opportunities for girls to work and play with a community of other girls and women as a way to encourage leadership and self-discovery. Whether it be outdoor adventure or creative arts, GirlVentures helps girls discover strength and talent through verbal, physical and creative self-expression activities.
This month, GirlVentures begins Session II of their Girls' Circles for Bay Area girls in grades 6-9. In a series of closely linked activity and discussion groups, girls will have an opportunity to connect with each other while exploring themes such as leadership, self-expression, self-care, creativity and more. The Circles take place at The Women's Building on 18th Street in San Francisco.
To learn more about GirlVentures events and how you can get involved, please contact them at (415) 864-0780, or visit the organization online at www.girlventures.org.
