On January 20th, more than 20 teens and seniors met for a fun and creative workshop to create cards and care packages for women in need. The group F.E.M. (Female Empowerment Movement) was created in 2023 with the simple desire to help and empower women. The teens are from many different High Schools in the Queens area. This session was filled with heartfelt dialogue creating warm bonds of friendship over cookies and brownies baked by the teens. F.E.M. has raised over $2000 selling their cookies and uses the proceeds to purchase products for the care packages. The YWCAQ has been a support for them to be able to work with older adults and gain confidence as they expend their very energetic, focused and joyful movement.
