Tampa Y.E.S. is an enriching initiative aimed at empowering middle and high school girls to become confident, resilient, and healthy leaders in their communities. Through a dynamic combination of academic support, life skills development, and physical well-being, the program fosters holistic growth for each participant. 

Key Components: 

  1. Academic Support 
    Through The Skills Center, Tampa Y.E.S provides individualized tutoring and group sessions to help girls excel academically. This support encourages a growth mindset, builds confidence in their academic abilities, and nurtures a love for learning. 
  2. Life Skills Development 
    The program equips participants with essential life skills, such as team building, effective communication, problem-solving, public speaking and goal-setting. These skills are designed to empower the girls to navigate life challenges and make informed decisions. 
  3. Nutrition Lessons and Cooking Demonstrations 
    Through hands-on cooking demonstrations and lessons, girls learn about the importance of healthy eating. They will gain practical skills in preparing nutritious meals and understand how proper nutrition supports both physical and mental well-being. 
  4. Physical Activity 
    Promoting physical fitness, Tampa Y.E.S incorporates fun and engaging exercise routines that improve health, boost energy levels, and teach the importance of regular physical activity in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 
  5. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) 
    Focused on emotional intelligence, the program emphasizes self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and relationship-building. Social emotional learning fosters resilience and helps participants develop the skills needed to thrive in both personal and social environments. 
  6. Civic Engagement 
    Tampa Y.E.S encourages active participation in the community and fosters a sense of civic responsibility. Through volunteer opportunities, leadership activities, and community service projects, girls learn the value of giving back and develop the leadership skills necessary to make a positive impact in their communities. 

By combining these elements, Tampa Y.E.S aims to empower girls to lead healthy, successful lives while promoting leadership, resilience, and community engagement. Through education, mentorship, and skill-building, participants will be equipped to thrive academically, socially, and physically, shaping a brighter future for themselves and their communities. 

The girls involved in the program will have the opportunity to participate in field studies and trips for exposure to enhance learning.   There is no cost to participate in this program, all trips and field studies are also free
