Describe the challenge you want to address:

People do not feel safe. They don't feel included, our youth feel they don't matter and have no voice. They need to feel safe and included amongst their community. Young women especially experience this, they need a safe haven.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

FORME (Focusing on the Realities of Me) a group for young women ages 14-24 years old can come and be heard. They will meet once a week to talk, build, and create ways to keep each other safe and feel included. There will be workshops, events and trips and should receive a stipend.
