In today's episode, we chat with Sophie Poost, Director of Programs at Disability EmpowHer Network, an organization that empowers girls and young women with disabilities through skills building, community, and mentorship. Their flagship program is a Camp held in June in the Adirondack mountains of Northeastern New York, followed by a project completed by the participants and guided by their mentors who they are paired with at Camp. They then get to share this project with the group when they meet up in July in Washington DC. Camp doesn't stop there! EmpowHer Network provides ongoing mentorship and representation of positive role models as these young persons with disabilities embark on their careers.
Another innovative and ongoing program is "A Letter from a Role Model". Here the youth can apply to receive a letter from a mentor/role model who is further along in their journey. I can't wait to check in with Sophie and some of the program participants later this year to hear about their camp experience!
