The Working Group on Girls of Schenectady exists to help girls build meaningful connections for healthy relationships and successful futures. WGGS provides social and emotional support to middle and high school girls in Schenectady by providing safe spaces for them to create connections and develop their own voices. WGGS programming covers a range of topics, from building healthy relationships to addressing real-life issues for the girls like systemic racism and institutional racism. It also provides a safe forum to have the difficult conversations about inequality, racism, cruelty, injustice as well as conversations about how to keep the girls safe from sexual exploitation.
