Lotherton Pathway
Youth Development
Village Bloggurls
Lotherton Pathway is home to the Village Bloggurls, a free leadership and media literacy program for girls and women aged 6 to 20 years old.
The program works towards building and maintaining the participants confidence and self-esteem. It’s a space that allows the girls to talk about issues without worrying about the constant judgement of society.
Program participants discuss and reflect on important topics such as gender identity, self-care, body image, media literacy, race, and world issues. They explore these topics through a variety of media projects, including:
Creating digital artwork
Blogging
Podcasting
Photography
Mapping
Creating zine’s
And more!
