Did you know Oklahoma is the #3 state for incarcerated women, leaving many children without a maternal influence in their lives?
Some 132 women out of every 100,000 are behind bars -- almost double the national average. The traditional leader of the home is absent, leaving many children devoid of counsel, angry with authority figures, and confused about many things in life.
The summit is a two-day workshop and panel discussion where teenage girls are allowed to listen to speakers on topics most relevant to young ladies today. The entire two days are designed to pour into the young ladies while simultaneously breaking down the walls they've built.
Some of the topics that will be addressed include domestic violence and human sex trafficking awareness bullying, health and fitness, resilience, the importance of education and career development, substance and mental health awareness, financial literacy, and much more. Our vision is that young ladies in our program will rise above adversity, inspire, and educate the community on issues that young ladies face in their lives.
Soaring Eagles believes that by taking time out with the teen girls now, we can help them avoid making bad decisions later.
