Area of Focus: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention
Activity Type:
Education: General
Summary: Aspire Academy,a 4-day leadership camp, provides high school aged girls hands-on experience in public safety careers.
This hands-on resident camp allows girls ages 14 to 18 to participate in a variety of activities which build leadership, self-confidence, and respect through teamwork. The camp is supported by the Girl Scouts, in partnership with Police and Fire Departments from across the valley. Aspire Academy gives girls the opportunity to experience firefighting, emergency operations techniques and law enforcement operations while connecting with women currently in the professions, as well as other women working in non-traditional roles. Girls will gear up and work alongside the elite women from Central Arizona's fire and police services, learning the value of fitness, rappelling, climbing a 100-foot ladder truck, investigating crime scenes, and riding with driving instructors in a high-speed obstacle course! The requested funds will provide scholarships for needy girls and food for the portions of the entire group.
