YOUNG WOMEN ASSOCIATION
Education/ Girls’ Club / ASP /Young Women's Association Project Managers
MINIMUM STAY: 4 months
We are currently looking for flexible, positive and creative people, preferably with experience working with children, to be the Project Manager for our Girls' Clubs /After School Programs and Young Women's Associations in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan, India. The main responsibility of these roles is to plan and prepare activities for both clubs, which range in attendance from 6 – 20 people, depending on the assigned community.
The Girls' Clubs is a program aimed at fostering confidence in girls through educational and creative activities. Though some of the girls are enrolled in school or college, gender still often limits their daily activities. The Girls' Clubs are a space for them to express themselves outside their homes—and a small step toward the larger goal of empowerment.
The aim of Girls' Club is to provide the girls with new skills and deliver awareness and informational workshops on topics they may not learn about at home or in school. The clubs alternate between educational and creative activities each week topics include creative writing, drama, female health, innovation, gender rights and feminism, and global awareness.
The aim of the Young Women's Association is to provide a time and space for young women of the rural community to participate in activities that are generally focused around positive social environment, recreation, awareness, and life skills. We also incorporate EduCARE India's sustainability program, SWASH, into the activities once a month. We are always looking for creative minds and fresh new ideas!
