Teen Advisors are passionate changemakers who lead advocacy efforts, energize others to take action in support of United Nations programs for girls, and provide crucial feedback on Girl Up's Club programs. These young leaders come from 17 different U.S. states and five countries – the United States, Mexico, Brazil, France and England. They are rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors in high school.

"Our Teen Advisors are the heart and soul of Girl Up. We incorporate their feedback into everything we do – from our partnerships to our leadership programs," said Melissa Kilby, Co-Executive Director of Girl Up. "This year, we are excited to welcome not only our largest class to date, but our most international class, with girls representing five countries, truly reflecting how global Girl Up's movement is becoming," said Anna Blue, Co-Executive Director of Girl Up.

Girl Up's Teen Advisor program is made possible thanks to its partnership with the Oath Foundation, which supports the global expansion of Girl Up's leadership program. "Our mission is focused on building opportunities for girls and women to become future leaders, and we're thrilled to support Girl Up's Teen Advisor program cultivating global leaders of tomorrow," said Sara Link, President of the Oath Foundation.

Teen Advisors are the backbone of Girl Up's borderless movement, which has grown to more than half a million supporters and 2,200 Clubs in 103 countries. Girl Up helps girls develop leadership skills through online engagement, community mobilization, and trainings in advocacy, public speaking, and fundraising. As a result of these efforts, Girl Up has created a generation of current and future girl leaders who have helped raise millions of dollars for United Nations programs and led advocacy efforts for global policies to stop child marriage, ensure that girls are registered at birth, and help refugee girls have access to education.

"I'm honored to serve as Co-Chair for the Teen Advisor Class of 2018-2019 and I'm excited to lead this new class of Teen Advisors," states Alex Riginos from North Carolina. I hope to inspire and empower them to use their voices to advocate for change and support girls everywhere. Teen Advisors are testament to what happens when girls stand together in solidarity to achieve gender equality. I know that girls are powerful when we stand alone but unstoppable when we stand together."

The Teen Advisors are self-identified girls selected on an annual basis to serve for an academic year. When Teen Advisors graduate from the program they continue to lead efforts that drive global change on their college campuses and their communities around the world.

“Prepare to Launch U” Empowers Stay-At-Home Moms To Reboot Their Careers

After years spent conquering the role of caregiver, chauffeur, chef and CEO of the family, many mothers feel ready to return to their previous positions in the workplace. But taking that leap back to work can be daunting. Now for the first time, there is a step-by-step guide to prepare women who have opted out to reboot their careers. Created by two moms who have dedicated their professional lives to empowering women, Prepare to Launch U is designed to take women from unsure to confident in 8 weeks.

"Prepare to Launch U began as a live course in Connecticut and we decided to bring it online to make it flexible, affordable and accessible to women all over the country," explained Susan Rietano Davey, Co-Founder of Prepare To Launch U. "Our students and focus groups have been clear. They want a comprehensive course that fits their lives and arms them with personal and professional tools to return to work."

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/japans-second-largest-mobile-carrier.html

Enrollment begins in August and the course begins on October 1st, however participants can get started now by taking the Prepare to Launch U online readiness assessment, and accessing other content on their website. In addition to instruction, inspiration and practical advice, students of the course will be offered membership in an exclusive online community where students can share, support and learn from each other.

"Women excel at being multi-tasking pros for everyone in their world- husbands, children, parents, even friends- often at the cost of their own happiness and direction," adds Kelley Biskupiak, Co-Founder of Prepare To Launch U. "Prepare to Launch U provides women the opportunity to slow down, re-focus and reclaim a future vision for themselves."

An estimated 43% of women will leave the workforce at some point and the majority of the time, it's to take care of children. Ninety percent of those women intended for it to be a temporary leave. However, for some, it becomes a permanent leave when they don't have the skills or tools to return to work. "Returning to work is not just about hitting a button and applying for a job," said Rietano Davey. "It's a process". The course breaks the process into three key components: Reclaim, Refine and Re-launch. Be alert to read related news.

"We've found that even a brief employment lapse comes with a loss of confidence," said Rietano Davey. "Even the most accomplished women need guidance, encouragement and tools to navigate their return to the rapidly-changing workplace."

The business partners met while speaking at a women's conference and soon recognized that they had complementary skills. With seven children between them, they completely understand the challenges of raising a family and pursuing a challenging profession.

Biskupiak trained at the esteemed Coaches Training Institute, earning a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach designation. For the past ten years, she has worked with clients to help them find clarity in the chaos and develop goal-based, purposeful plans that can be implemented into their daily lives.

Rietano Davey joined a start-up staffing and consulting firm after having her children. The firm was the first to champion flexible work arrangements. As a 20-year pioneer in the field of work-life balance, she has helped countless women re-enter the workforce and numerous client-companies adopt flexible work policies.

"The first module of our course guides women through five exercises to learn about who they are now – which may be different from who they were when they left the workplace," said Biskupiak. "We love watching women's confidence grow through this module because it's often a lack of confidence that's their biggest barrier to success." Read this here.

To help build women's confidence, the partners like to share with prospective students the top four things they have learned from their combined 30 years of experience in the 'return-to-work' field:

1.    A Gap in Your Résumé is Not a Career-Killer
Your years at home are just a blip in the now 50-year work paradigm. And they weren't wasted – you've managed interesting 'projects' and honed valuable skills during your years at home.
2.    The Workplace Needs More Female-Leaders Like You
Your time at home is valuable; its impact will be long lasting. But now, it's time you bring your passion, skills, and experience back to the workplace to drive results and change culture.
3.    Employers Hire Women Who Have Been Out of the Workplace
And research shows these women perform at the same rate (or better) than their colleagues.
4.    You are Not Alone
There are thousands of women out there with similar dreams to yours – and similar obstacles. Join them and join us to knock down those obstacles and realize your dreams.

In response to the interest and eagerness for the online offering to begin, the co-founders are filming a series of 12 brief videos called "Office Hours" that answer some common questions about the back-to-work process. Watch at http://www.preparetolaunchu.com/office-hours.

Read here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-npd-group-reports-fragrance-trends.html

Women can also register to receive a weekly online newsletter, follow the partners on social media and, in August, enroll for their introductory, low cost mini-course.

"We are so excited to help more women navigate the road back to work," concluded Rietano Davey. "And the timing couldn't be better. Now, more than ever, the workplace is craving women's skills and their voice."

Prepare To Launch U is the definitive women's career re-entry course designed to guide women through the unique challenges of returning to the workforce after opting out to care for family. Co-founders Kelley Biskupiak and Susan Rietano Davey have successfully helped hundreds of women relaunch into fulfilling careers.

Special guest will include Jenn Hobby, the star of the "Jeff and Jenn Show" on Star 94.1, who will attend the event and help raise funds for Reese's Magic, a non-profit organization named after her daughter Reese. For opening day, Tiff's Treats is proud to partner with Reese's Magic Fund, whose goal is to create a team of doctors from around the world who can share their experience, expertise, and research to prevent and cure germ cell tumors. All proceeds from the first day (up to $5,000) will go directly to the organization.

To celebrate opening day, the first 40 people in line at 9am will be given a $100 Tiff's Treats gift card. All others in line at 9am will get a $10 gift card (must be 18 or older). As an opening day perk, customers will be able to purchase a dozen cookies for only $5 (no call ahead orders) and up to as many as six one-dozen boxes per person filled with one of Tiff's Treats most irresistible flavors: chocolate chip, snickerdoodle or oatmeal raisin. Everyone who attends the opening day celebration will also have a chance to win free cookies for a year! Read latest news here.

Customers are encouraged to bring new unwrapped LEGO® bricks and sets to donate to children being treated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Everyone that contributes will get a $5 Tiff's Treats Gift Card.

"We are thrilled to expand our presence in the Atlanta area and feel we have cultivated a great community of warm cookie lovers," shares Tiffany Chen, co-founder of Tiff's Treats. "Our decision to open a Buckhead location was a no-brainer and we are so excited to be able to service this thriving neighborhood of foodies," shares Chen. "As a company, we are committed to supporting local organizations that we are a part of. Tiff's Treats is about connecting people and doing good through warm cookies," shares co-founder Leon Chen. All funds raised at this opening will go towards supporting the doctors at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center within Children's Healthcare of Atlanta who are researching to find a cure for malignant germ cell tumors, the type of cancer that Jenn Hobby's daughter Reese beat.
