Frances: “Ain’t no power like the power of the youth, cause the power of the youth don’t stop, SAY WHAT?” . Today, July 29th of 2009 is Me and Kati’s last working day of Girls Inc. Eureka internship program! We decided to write our last blog …. something about … dedicated to …. the youth in general. I’ve been part of Girls Inc since.. the summer of 2006. Eureka! was the first Girls inc program I joined. Until I found out about the HEART program… which i found out thru my 1st eureka internship. (which was @Girls Inc Office in SL). I’m also in other youth programs outside of Girls inc. During the school year, I participate in AYPAL, and STP. Aypal is an acronym for Asian and Pacific Islanders Youth Promoting Advocacy Leadership, it’s open for all kinds, all youth. And stp is Serve the People. Both, have the same intentions, fighting for social justice, educating the youth with what’s up, and also teaching the youth to embrace their culture and roots. Thruout my sophomore year, I tried to participate in many events and rallys. I learned a lot from all the programs i joined. Whether its advocating for myself, womyn’s rights, social justice, appreciating my culture, or learning more about birth contraceptives. I gained a lot of knowledge and confidence and all these programs have helped me with my future. i shall definately pursuea career dealing with kids and social justice 
YEUHHH~!
Katarina: oooooookiiiiiieeees! Yuppies, my days being a part of Eureka’s Internship program is coming to a close, noooooooo!!! Frances has had A LOT of variety in her youth programs while I just kinda stuck around with Girls Inc my whole life. My first year of Girls Inc programing was in…2000? i think, well I was in 1st grade for sure! And it’s kinda cool to say that you were in a program for 10 years. Plus I think it’s funny when the new leaders don’t know how long i’ve been around, and STILL trying to shove the message of Girls Inc (Strong, Smart, and Bold) down my throat. L O L ? But anyways, the program got me interning here so I’m very happy, but sad cause the adventure’s gonna be ending sooon! more nooooooooooooooo!!!!… Hmm. yeah, I completely recommend going out there and volunteering your time to some kind of youth organization cause soooo many more opportunities and funness! I even gotted started this Octogon program at my HS too. Community service! WOOHOO! nothing like spending Saturday’s with friends serving the old, and helping the young! Im gonna miss ya Eureka!! ? GUUURL~
P.S. expect more blogs from Frances & Katarina ! our internship is being stretched to Tuesday’s in August! YAY!
