“Girl Talk”
A Conference for Young Ladies
In an attempt to address the issues facing young ladies at Ballou Senior High School, ERCPCP partnered with several community organizations to present “Girl Talk” A Conference for Young Ladies.
The first annual “Girl Talk” conference was hosted on Saturday, March 27, 2004 in honor of Women’s History Month. The all-day Saturday event was aimed at empowering young women by providing pathways to build positive self-esteem and enhance independent thinking through dynamic, energetic and fun workshops, group sessions and just plain ole “Girl Talk...” Further, each young woman was given the opportunity to sign up for a Mentor-for-a-day who would engage that young woman in a one day mentoring experience with the possibility of maintaining a continued relationship.
   
Born of that conference was Man 2 Man, A Conference for Young Men, the male counterpart to the “Girl Talk” conference.
This year marks the fifth (5th) year that we will be presenting the “Girl Talk” Conference. The 5th Annual “Girl Talk” Conference, "A Rose Is Still A Rose" will be held on March 15, 2008 .
How can you get involved?
Well… we’re glad you asked! There are several opportunities for community members, groups and organizations like you to become involved. To make the conference a success, ERCPCP is in need of the following:
