Young
Women's Project & Young Women's Festival
In
2000, a NSW Department for Women-funded Action Research project found that young
women from culturally diverse backgrounds needed increased access to services.
For
a copy report and Social Action Kit, which has recommendations for services for
how to increase participation of young women from diverse cultures to their services,
contact St George Youth Services on 9556 1769, or email
us.
Some
of the materials from the Social Action Kit are also available at
our Worker's
Resources Page.
Over
the last 7 years, St George
Young Women's Festival has also been running, a key aim being to access young
women and connect them with local services. Every
March, as part of International Women's Day celebrations, a Youth Leaders' committee
organises this girl's only event.
