The Girl Blue Project's “GIVE ME 5” Campaign

The Girl Blue Project's 2007 “GIVE ME 5” Campaign
Creative Think Link Posted June-19-2007
A Creativity Fostering Self-Awareness Program for Teenage Girls
I first learned about The Girl Blue Project in 2006 when I published an interview on the Creativity Portal Web site "Spirited Woman" Nancy Mills had with its founder and director Marlow Wyatt. I was so moved by what I read that I immediately sent a small donation through PayPal to help support the organization. What does The Girl Blue Project do? According to the organization's home page:

"The Girl Blue Project was founded in June of 2003 as a pro-active move to re-educate, motivate and empower teen girls, 14 to 18 years old, in Los Angeles County. This innovative, free intensive was designed to focus on the social and emotional problems of teen girls and how these issues affect their ability to learn and lead productive, fulfilling lives. [...] The Girl Blue Project fosters a creative environment that promotes discipline, structure, accountability, self-respect, self-acceptance and empowerment through a curriculum of classes in yoga, performing arts, health education, financial education, social skills and self-awareness."

The work I've been doing in connection with the Creativity Portal over the last 7 years has endowed me with a wealth of knowledge, insight, and experience into the transforming power of creative expression. Knowing that The Girl Blue Project fosters a creative environment that includes activities related to creative expression in its curriculum underscores the value of the work Marlow is doing and the immense potential it has to alter, mentor, and empower the lives of these young women.

This year (2007) marks the 5th year The Girl Blue Project is engaged in this wonderful community service for these beautiful, growing, creative teenage girls. And like many non-profits, they rely on monetary donations from individuals and organizations to help support their work. This year The Girl Blue Project is running a fund-raising campaign called "GIVE ME 5", which you can read more about in Marlow's campaign e-mail below and on the organization's Web site.

The Girl Blue Project "GIVE ME 5"

Dear Current and Future Girl Blue Supporters,

The Girl Blue Project is in URGENT NEED of your support! We are asking for your participation in our "GIVE ME 5" campaign in order to continue our 5th year of service. As many of you know, I founded The Girl Blue Project 4 years ago as a pro-active way to re-educate, motivate and empower teen girls. Our curriculum is formatted to nurture the emotional development of young girls with challenging circumstances.

June of 2007 will mark our 5th Anniversary and we are making a new commitment to include minority girls in Foster Care. California has more youth in foster care than any other state in the country and in Los Angeles County more than 12,000 African American children and over 18,000 Latina children are in foster care. Our goal is to provide these girls with the mental, physical and spiritual tools needed to become self-loving, self-sufficient, pro-active women! Our program is based on the principle of "collective responsibility". WE must raise $15,000 by July 1st. We need your support so that we may continue to increase the well being of these under served young girls.
