The Village Bloggurls

The Village Bloggurls "The Village Bloggurls is a weekly girl’s leadership and media production/literacy program in Lotherton where girls create a safe and supportive space.

The Village Bloggurls is a weekly girl’s leadership and media production/literacy program where girls aged 9-13 from within Lotherton work with their mentors aged 13-18 and staff to create a safe and supportive environment. The girls will develop a sense of ownership and belonging in this group and in their community of Lotherton, which is an under resourced, socially, and geographically isolated

neighborhood that exists in a service vacuum away from the larger priority neighborhood of Lawrence Heights. Our goal is for the girls and mentors to gain a sense of pride and increase their self-esteem through identifying various forms of violence specific towards women and address these issues by sharing their stories and experiences through critical media analysis and self-represented media production (e.g., podcasts, digital stories, online blog, zine, newsletter etc.) with other girls within their community and beyond.

Zine 1: Last year, the Village Bloggurls decided to take a different approach to their annual zine. Instead of picking a topic, they decided to contextualize all of the topics we touch on in program, and they came to their idea: Lotherton. The zine would be about their own community. In this zine, you will see the finished product of several interviews, a trip to the Library, extensive online research and reflection pieces alongside images old and new of Lotherton.

One of our mentors and one of our staff did an interview together about mentorship for the Canadian Women's Foundation's blog. Check it out here!

We asked a mentor and a mentee from The Village Bloggurls program at North York Community House to fill us in on what their mentorship looks like.

Recognizing girls for their work is important! Oftentimes, girls are told to stay in the background while boys are encouraged to speak up and take up space. In the Village Bloggurls program, we not only encourage girls to speak up and use their voices, we encourage them to apply for awards and put their work on their resumes! It's a lot of work that includes several skills: mentorship, facilitation, social media management, communication, leadership, photography, blogging, project management etc.

This is a picture of Diana and Vanessa, two mentors recognized by their local MPP for their work.

Want to develop these skills? Win awards? Have things to put on your resume? Join us Oct. 12: https://www.facebook.com/events/1973975879363339/
