Sloan Anderson is proposing a senior project to organize a presentation by local agencies addressing women's empowerment issues. The presentation would cover topics like body image, verbal abuse, gender stereotypes, societal gender roles, and sisterhood. Sloan plans to contact local agencies and women with experience in empowerment to speak. Sloan will find a location and date, advertise the event, hold the presentation, and create a scrapbook documenting the process. This project is a learning stretch for Sloan, who has no prior experience planning such an event. The estimated costs are $100, which Sloan plans to fund through donations. Sloan is considering Jill Glen as a facilitator given her expertise working with and empowering young girls

4) Describe what you are proposing to do for your Product step-by-step and in detail. Write on the
back of this sheet if necessary.
I plan to organize a presentation for young girls in my community. First, I will meet with local
agencies that specialize in empowering women. These agencies will provide speakers to address
certain issues on women empowerment or be local women who have experienced women
empowerment through their lives. Next, I will find a location and date for the presentation to be held;
then, I will book the location and finalize the speakers and presentation. After that, I will advertise the
presentation and hand our flyer to my surrounding neighborhoods and local schools. Finally, I will
have the presentation take place, and hopefully it will change, inspire some of the young girls. My
final project will be a scrapbook demonstrating all of my steps, speakers, and the actual event.
5) How is this project a “learning stretch” and a challenge for you?
This project is a learning stretch for me because I have never planned a presentation with
multiple speakers, nor have I organized a planned event. Therefore, I will have to learn all of the
aspects it takes to organize a presentation.

empowered many of these girls to learn new skills and spread their wings.
