Building Women Enrichment Class Teaches Teamwork, Empowerment

“Building Women has taught me that girls can do everything that boys can do… even if we think we can’t!” sixth grader Nadia Jackson said. “When I get older, I’ll be able to teach other women how to cooperate and work together as a team.”

In this profile of our Building Women Enrichment course at H.W. Smith, the Syracuse City School District highlights the young women who have been building their self-worth, teamwork and leadership skills – and improving the school – thanks to a Building Women group. The enrichment group provides empowerment and personal growth opportunities to girls in grades four through eight.
