GREATNESS IN HAWAII IN FIRST GIRLS PROGRAM
Hawaii YIP for Girls participants enjoying the ‘Pearl Harbor Experience’ STEM based educational tour
Dear Dreamers and Dream Makers,
The Nation’s first-ever YIP for Girls is making history in Hawaii with a new, innovative, cutting-edge curriculum crafted and tailored specifically for young ladies. The program is developed with focus on ‘connection’ of the three major components consisting of STEM based academics, character and leadership development, and nutrition and athletics.
In addition to the three-part curriculum, the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Head Coach Laura Beeman selected special topics such as positive social interaction, mental health and integrated exceptional female role models as guest speakers to inspire, educate and inform young ladies, to complement and connect with leadership fundamentals designed to foster a greater understanding of the YIP Ethos, seven YIP core values for application in daily life, ultimately leading to a personalized DREAM CARD that captures and represents all the above and presented at Graduation.
To provide stimulation, exposure and access, the girls enjoyed a field trip, the ‘Pearl Harbor Experience,’ educational tour to the USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and Pacific Submarine Center, with STEM focus, designed as a career exploration opportunity to inspire interest in aerospace, submarine, maritime and other high-tech career fields, along with a better understanding and appreciation of Hawaii’s rich military history.
