ACHIEVE
OGAV runs a student centered focus groups (club) and summer leadership camp through our Learning beyond the classroom initiative. We are a community building people that is preparing a community of girls within the school for successful career and life that can in turn change the community positively.
We do this through our initiative – ‘Learning beyond the Classroom’
We mentor, nurture and empower girls in partnership with public secondary schools through our initiative – learning beyond the classroom for girls and young women. This is carried out throughout the year.
To meet the need and bridge the gap, the organization provides public secondary schools in the community meaningful assistance through “Learning Beyond the Classroom Initiative” which has three programs:
- Co-curricular School Program (Girls club)
- Summer Leadership Program and
- Scholarship Scheme
Co-Curricular School-Based Program
The Girl’s club is a socio-academic club that is student-centred and focused. It is a dynamic opportunity designed to support the development of character building that leads to academic success, a positive self-image and the development of young women in order to foster a sense of empowerment in them. We believe our girls need to be taught what authentic character is, before, they can identify unacceptable behaviour. Co-Curricular School Program life-cycle is 3 years. This is a school mentoring program that runs weekly throughout the academic year.
Summer Leadership Camp
The Summer Leadership Camp program is geared towards the following objectives:
This is a program that runs during the summer holiday for four weeks and it is geared towards the following objectives;
- Empowering public school girls and bridging the gap between their private school counterparts
- Make summer holidays valuable to students thus positively impacting the girls within the community. Summer time is a time when students are at risk of engaging in unsafe activities. Most of these students are left unsupervised by parents who are having their own economic challenges
The essence of Camp:
- Girls acquire a broad range of academic, social and emotional skills to equip them for success
- Have structured opportunities for enriching experiences in a safe environment
- Provide a safe environment for the girls and lead them away from roaming the streets and exposing themselves to danger and unsafe activities
