First Fridays
The participants of each branch of YWIRLS convene on the first Friday of each month for an evening workshop geared toward the daily life experiences of the young women. Such workshops include hygeine, etiquette, personal safety, etc.. Dinner is provided by the YWIRLS coordinators and all the workshops are facilitated by the women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. First Fridays is designed to allow the participants of each of the branches of programming to come together and build a sisterly network. These workshops also allow a open and honest dialogue among participants and young, college educated women who are not far removed from adolescent experiences regarding pertinent issues that may be difficult to discuss with parents or older adults. We care about the young women of our community, and we realize that this form of open communication allows a healthier view of self and others. Tolerance, acceptance and dependability are strongly focused upon in these workshops.
