OUR CURRICULUM
16-Session Empowerment Curriculum
Our signature 16-session curriculum is designed to take young women on a journey of self-awareness, healing, sisterhood, and leadership. Each session focuses on a core theme that fosters resilience, confidence, and a sense of purpose. Topics include:
- Sharing Our Truth – Creating a safe space for girls to share their stories and begin the healing process.
- Self-Esteem & Self-Worth – Helping participants build confidence and recognize their unique strengths.
- Sisterhood & Support Systems – Encouraging positive relationships and unity among young women.
- Dreaming Big & Goal Setting – Teaching the power of vision, goal-setting, and believing in one's future.
- Emotional Intelligence & Healing Trauma – Providing tools to navigate emotions and process past experiences.
- Leadership & Advocacy – Equipping young women with the skills to be changemakers in their communities.
Each session incorporates discussions, interactive activities, and guided exercises from our therapeutic workbook, Heal Self, Heal Her. This workbook is an essential part of our program, offering prompts, affirmations, and exercises that help participants reflect, heal, and develop self-love.
WHAT IS MY SISTA'S KEEPHER
Our organization focuses on young ladies ages 12 to 21. Established in 2014, we have reached thousands of youth in Wisconsin and beyond using poetry performances and writing exercises to address various traumas, challenges and issues that all too often distract our youth from becoming their best selves. We focus on similarities more than differences. We encourage all of our students to share their stories, find their voice and be heard in a positive way. We offer a way to stay connected through our Incentive Programs which include our Mother-Daughter Pajama Party, Dream Big Spa Day and our F.I.R.E. Awards (Females In Recognition of Excellence).

ORIGINAL STUDENT POETRY
My Sista's KeepHer written collectively by Students at Vel R. Phillips Juvenile Justice Center
Sistahood is priceless
Intertwined like furious lions
Stick together in cold, cold weather
Like mismatched socks and matching sweaters
Even though we're different we're going down the same path together
Through whatever, the bond we have sticks forever and ever
I will be there for my sister through any pressure
Our Love can never be measured
Crazy rainy days are like blinding sun rays
No matter how she falls I will always give her praise
We raise our children up to grow strong like a lion's mane
Some days life tries to drive us insane
But it's efforts are in vain
My sista's I'll never blame
We stick together through our pain
Love and respect for all women has changed the game!
