Just Bead It by Kenz and Jenna (GGS Leadership Team)
Many pre teen and teenage girls struggle to accept theme selves for who they are and come to the fact that they are worth it. This workshop is made to help inspire teenagers and help them recognize their self-worth. In order to do so, we will be giving a brief presentation and we will be making beaded bracelets. Additionally, within the bracelet one must write one thing that they like about theme selves or one thing that positively defines them.
Keeping Your Mind Healthy by Tamara Cassis (Maadi Psychology Center)
With school, relationships and life in general, taking care of our well-being often takes a back seat. We know it’s important, and yet we don’t think intentionally about how to maintain our mental wellness very often. In this workshop, we will discuss ways to recognize and manage the things in our life that make us feel unwell. We will also explore how our thoughts and feelings are separate, and understand the relationship between them and our behaviors.
Lip Dub by RedVentures
Lip Dub is a single take music video traveling through different settings and environments. The team will rehearse lip-synching, dancing, and acting – then film the whole song in one take. Each participant will be assigned to a location and provided with prop material and costumes – it is up to the teams to create the video in whatever way they desire. Once the group has practiced and recorded their Lip Dub, Red Ventures does the rest of the magic. It takes an hour to edit and prepare high-quality videos for the participants to see.

There are many subtle ways in which language can impact the ways in which people perceive and react to you- so let’s examine some of them and use it to our advantage. Speak up!
