Rasha’s Story

Lynda talks about how taking women's empowerment programs helped her overcome obstacles and build a network and a support system.

I heard about the Learning Exchange from my case worker at the Teen Resource Centre. She suggested I check it out and see if the programs might be helpful for me. I wanted to finish high school, so I met with someone at the Learning Exchange and they told me about the G.O.A.L.S. program. It was interesting to me because it was different from the schools I had gone to before. 

Lita first heard about SJLE through a family member who had recently completed the Healthy Self-Esteem programming. Watching someone close to her grow confidence and self-worth sparks something in her.
