YWM – Anthem Contest Mentorship Program

 ANTHEM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

 

It is our pleasure to announce that A Celebration of Women Foundation Inc. will be supporting the creation and production of this winning song at a professional studio, with one of our very own, musical professional WOMEN of ACTION ( TBA ).

All Young Women that are engaging in this Contest that are seeking assistance or mentorship are welcome to send all musical, writing block and moral support questions through to Team Celebration through our CONTACT PAGE.

Young Women on the Move (YWM) is a powerful TDSB (Toronto District School Board) mentorship initiative for girls in Grades 3-12. Building on existing mentorship programs for girls, YWM empowers girls to become agents of positive change. YWM is a growing network of socially conscious young women supported by meaningful relationships with a strong community of mentors.

The Young Women on the Move (YWM) committee challenged the TDSB girls’ group to write and perform a new YWM anthem. The anthem should resonate with the experiences of the girls and must include the words Caring, Courageous, and Confident.
