Our unique workshop consists of two separate sessions. In the first session volunteers conduct a uniquely designed workshop that teaches the four "life tools" that can be used to create one's ideal life. Our volunteers add to the experience by sharing their own personal success stories as they relate to the tools. They also provide helpful tips for today’s young Latina. Six to eight weeks later, we follow-up with the same group to discuss challeges and successes they experienced in using the tools. We introduce them to additional techniques that reinforce the life skills they learned and get them on track to realize their full potential. In conclusion, students are given a comprehensive resources brochure of local and national agencies and organizations that can further aid them in their journey to success.
