Boys & Girls Club of Venice
As some of you may know I am a huge fan and supporter of The Boys & Girls Club of Venice. Especially their girls programs that are organized & run by Michelle Shedga. Michelle is always trying to find new ways to inspire the girls at the club to get fit, become more aware, and truly change their lives through unique and enriching opportunities and experiences.
Michelle’s program, “Smart Girls,” is looking to bring in new facilitators each week of the 8-week program. Perhaps you can help us fill or find a few people we are looking for. Check out below to see what we had in mind and PLEASE feel free to suggest NEW ideas we had not thought of. Any support, feedback, ideas, guidance, and old fashion hook ups are greatly appreciated! We are ALWAYS in need of awards, prizes, swag! It helps motivate these young ladies :)
We have a few ideas…
1) Dancing Session- fitness/nutrition/healthy lifestyle focus. Looking for an instructor with energy, experiences, and a solid message.
2) Drug Abuse Session- common/trendy recreational drugs right now (what they are, why people use, effects of each drug, long-term effects, treatment options). Looking for anyone who could help bring this info to the club in an open and non threatening way.
3) For graduation- a “Fashion Do’s and Don’ts Party”
- What clothes flatter your figure. Could use a great stylist.
- Wearing make-up. Looking for a make-up artist.
- Best hair-cut for you. Looking for a hair stylist.
After we are all dolled up, they want a “photo shoot”. How fun right?
The dates currently available for meetings are:
Thursday, 2/16, Thursday, 2/23, Thursday, 3/8 and Thursday, 3/15. Meetings are from 4:45 to 5:45 for volunteers (girls think 4:30 to 5:45)
Graduation will be on 2/22 during a similar time slot – somewhere between 5:00 and 8:00.
WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME! Please do NOT sit on this. ACT right away and help us make each week of Smart Girls an opportunity to impact a young girl in OUR community.
Email myself at Info@BodyInspiredFitness.com or Michelle at Michelle@bgcv.com with any questions or ideas you have. Thank you SO very much for your time. XO-Angela
Dove Movement for Self-Esteem Weekend
In 2010 & 2011 Angela participated in the Dove Movement for Self-Esteem Weekend at the Boys & Girls Club of Venice. It has always been Angela’s passion to help young adults recognize their full potential & to understand that they are beautiful just the way they are. In 2010 Angela led a group of 54 teenage girls through an upbeat dance workout with the mission was to inspire the girls to realize that exercise and getting in shape is fun! And to discover how strong they can be no matter what! In 2011, Angela organized & hosted the Dove Movement for Self-Esteem Weekend girls, giving the girls the opportunity to dance, create, and express themselves in an open environment with their peers and the unbelievable volunteers!
