Teen ServicesYW-Teens After-School
YW-Teens After School Leadership Clubs are offered in various middle schools in Allegheny County, and meet once a week. YW-Teens offers girls an opportunity to meet new friends, explore career opportunities, develop leadership skills, and have fun! Club groups also incorporate service learning as a means of empowering girls to become stakeholders in their communities. YW-Teens are encouraged to use their voices individually and collectively to effect positive change for all girls. Arts and crafts, field trips, and special events are also included in YW-Teens.

TechGYRLS Plus
TechGYRLS is a fascinating exploration of Lego® Robotics and computer animation. Girls construct and program robot models made of Legos® that are similar to those used by NASA and the military! Those in the advanced session will compete against both local and regional teams. Girls will also have the opportunity to meet professional women in science and technology careers, visit jobsites and go on other scientific exploration field trips, including the Carnegie Science Center.
Media Tech
Media Tech is an opportunity for girls to obtain hands-on experience with media technology - from filming videos to editing footage using digital equipment. Partnerships with local media organizations allow girls to utilize the latest technology. Each session focuses on a different area of media, with professional journalists and producers conducting portions of the sessions. Field trips to local radio and television stations, guest speakers, and a final project are included.
