Training for Staff & Mentors Running Girls’ Programs
Based on our Her Power! Retreat model, this training prepares staff, mentors, and volunteers to support teens and young women with disabilities in your program. Participants experience the curriculum firsthand while building their own leadership voice. Core topics include:
- Disability Pride — exploring and celebrating identity as women with disabilities
- Media Literacy — analyzing how disability is portrayed and challenging stereotypes
- Leadership Development — building leadership skills and learning to foster them in teens
- Disability History — understanding our heritage and the disability rights movement
- Community Building — creating authentic connections among women leaders with disabilities
- Teen Mentorship Strategies — practical tools for connecting with and supporting teen girls with disabilities
This training is valuable for any organization running a girls’ or women’s program, not just Her Power!. It can be delivered as a multi-day retreat, a series of shorter sessions, or adapted to fit your timeline and format.
Raising Children with Disabilities: With Disability Pride
A weekend retreat designed to help parents of children with disabilities understand and embrace disability pride. This training challenges societal stereotypes and oppression while giving parents tools in disability history, culture, and pride to support their child’s self-empowerment.
Owning Our Place at the Table: Women’s Board Leadership Program
A five-month leadership program for women with disabilities (ages 20–35) interested in serving on boards of directors of nonprofit organizations. Designed for women who have not yet served on a board, as well as women who have served but felt lost in the process or unheard. Participants learn how to step into board service, share their knowledge, and take on leadership roles in their communities.
Her Power! Youth Lounges: Transracial Adoptee and Foster Care Youth
A virtual space for teen girls with disabilities who are adoptees or in foster care. Facilitated by a transracial adoptee, these lounges focus on making friends, normalizing shared experiences, and modeling positive, empowering, adoptee-centric language and storytelling.
The Intersection of Transracial Adoption & Racial (In)Justice
An interactive workshop designed for transracial adoptive families and their communities — family, friends, neighbors, church communities, and coworkers. Covers racial norms in America, racism in child welfare, and strategies for interrupting adoption-related microaggressions (such as “Where is his real mom?” or “How’d you get them?”).
Teen Girls and Assistive Technology
A workshop about assistive technology that teen girls can use in their daily lives — including topics that aren’t always easy to ask about, like managing periods, putting on a bra, and painting nails. There’s no shame in asking how others get things done.
