About the Young Women's Empowerment Weekends
OUR WORKSHOPS

Since 1998, the Young Women’s Empowerment Workshops have had an exciting approach to guiding our female youth to make healthy life style choices.  Our innovative techniques help youth to uncover the root causes of their pain, anger, and attitudes so they can discover the positive and negative effects of their current choices.  From this new understanding we guide them in their decision to make powerful changes that fit their true self.  

OUR FOUNDERS

The Young Women's Empowerment Team is a community-based organization committed to young women's success.  Created by and founded by a group of  women in communities across the United States and Canada dedicated to young women embracing their gifts to the world and loving themselves just as they are.  After creating and delivering the first set of Young Women's Empowerment Weekends in 1998 and seeing the amazing impact of these events we decided to branch off and create non-profit organizations dedicated to delivering the Young Women's Empowerment Weekends.   Currently, there is the Young Women's Empowerment Weekend in California and a group in Canada.   Michelle Myers, Co-Founder and Facilitator, operates the California YWEWs with a team of women and young women graduates trained in educating youth .
