Often times, even those with the best of intentions can get overwhelmed when faced with all of the possibilities. Where do you even start? Deep breaths, sister: we\u2019ve lined up five great ways you can get started in your area. We\u2019ve compiled a list of ideas that will serve a variety of different skills and availabilities.\n\n1. Volunteer at a women\u2019s shelter:<\/strong> In addition to providing meals and lodging to women and families, many shelters provide legal services, counseling, and vocational training. There are so many ways to help out \u2013 which makes this a great choice for someone looking for a wide variety of experience. Many shelters require a training program to work with victims of domestic violence, so this is a volunteer opportunity that is best suited for those who are looking for a long term commitment.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.0.11″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]2. Become a mentor:<\/strong> When girls are empowered from a young age, they go on to become more successful adults, which improves the quality of life for everyone. And what better way to work directly with young girls in your community than to become a mentor? From the Boys & Girls Club to Big Brothers Big Sisters and beyond, there are so many programs available to those interested in mentorship. Many organizations have a minimum commitment, so be sure to consider your availability before applying. But, if you have a few hours 1-2 times a month to volunteer, this is a fantastic (and incredibly rewarding) way to get connected.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]3. Join a club:<\/strong> Consider joining a local women\u2019s organization or club, like I AM THAT GIRL (IATG). IATG\u2019s mission is: \u201cRaising the standards for how girls treat themselves, each other, and the world. By building a community for girls to be seen, be heard, and belong, we are giving them something bigger than themselves to stand for and creating a healthier, more powerful world.\u201d Powerful stuff! If you don\u2019t have much time to commit, or you\u2019re not quite ready to jump into a more formal volunteer position, don\u2019t underestimate the power of connecting to a community of women. Together, we can make a difference.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]4. Use your voice:<\/strong> Use your online presence for good! Don\u2019t get us wrong, we love seeing cute puppy photos. But our social media profiles can be more than that: they can serve as a platform. Share local fundraisers, follow local organizations, and speak up for what you believe in when you need to. You never know how much of an impact your positivity and passion can have on the people around you.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]5. Partner with BPP to donate period supplies:<\/strong> We started the Feminine CARE Donation Program to provide women with the products they need to live happier, healthier lives.
