Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Workshop 2008

Calling all girls - aged 14-15

Do you have a child that is interested in human rights and social justice who will be going into the equivalent of 10th or 11th grade?
If so, you should encourage her to apply for the unique two week

Eleanor Roosevelt Girls' Leadership Workshop
which will be held near Hyde Park, New York next summer.

The program is designed for serious students who "demonstrate a commitment to volunteer service, citizenship and social justice."
It is designed to develop self-esteem, confidence and to promote leadership skills for the participants.
It consists of interactive workshops, seminars and panel discussions with accomplished women who are practitioners in the field.
Two days are planned for a trip to the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

In honor of the 60th anniversary of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and
Eleanor's Roosevelt's key role in the development and passage of the UDHR, FAWCO
(Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas) is pleased to sponsor a child to go to
the Eleanor Roosevelt Girls' Leadership Workshop.

Please note that the 2008 dates and application form will only be available after mid- December.
