A group of over 300 people, mostly made up of young girls in middle and high school, used their Saturday for educating themselves. A workshop titled “Girl Power” taught girls how to handle outside pressures, like peers, television and other sources of media, and how these forces affect young women like themselves. The program was put together by WomenSource, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping women.
