CAMPS GLOW/TOBE STILL NEED YOUR HELP! 

We need to raise just over $3,000 by June to reach our goal! Will you consider donating? Anything you can give helps!

Peace Corps Camps GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) and TOBE’s (Teaching Our Boys Excellence) main objective is to raise awareness of gender issues in Ukraine, particularly those facing youth. The weeklong camps includ lessons, discussion sessions, team-building activities and fun excursions designed to foster a sense of unity and empowerment. All activities are designed to teach respect, responsibility, volunteerism, civic participation, and leadership in a context of gender equality.

This year, topics of discussion will include:
Leadership Skills and Independence
Human Trafficking Information (in the context of evaluating opportunities to work or study abroad)
HIV/AIDS Awareness and Stigma Reduction
Violence Awareness and Prevention
Body Image and Self-Esteem
Healthy Lifestyles
Friendships and Relationships
Topics in Professional Development
Following participation in GLOW/TOBE, campers will be also be required to give a presentation or hold an event in their own communities or schools, highlighting one of the topics covered during the camp, to encourage sustainability and give participants a chance to practice applying their new skills.

A Peace Corps program, GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) and TOBE’s (Teaching Our Boys to Excel) main objective is to raise awareness of gender issues in Ukraine, particularly those facing youth. The weeklong program includes lessons, discussion sessions, team-building activities and fun excursions designed to foster a sense of unity and empowerment. All activities are designed to teach respect, responsibility, volunteerism, civic participation, and leadership in a context of gender equality.

Campers are selected for their leadership potential, open-mindedness, and maturity, rather than their level of English, since we prioritize the development of young leaders. While sessions will be targeted at the youth attending the camps, we also expect Ukrainian chaperons will have a chance to demonstrate and develop their skills by helping to lead some of the sessions. The girl’s camp has only female counselors, and vice versa, to provide positive role models of the same gender to youth, as well as a comfortable environment to share and grow. Room, board, and all activities are free of charge for the participants, but in order to ensure that all the qualified individuals identified may attend, WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR 2013!!!!
