Madison SOS is looking for Madison high school teen girls to share their views. Participants can enter a drawing to win an iPod touch.

Madison SOS Project Coordinator Natalia Thompson appeared on Forward Forum, a program airing on Madison 1670 AM.

Madison SOS is launching a city-wide initiative to gather girls’ opinions and stories on the issues that matter to them. A key component of the initiative – an online survey entitled, “Speak Out! A Survey on the Issues Affecting Your Life” – goes live today.

This summer, teen girls from across Madison came together to paint a mural depicting their lives and dreams for the future of their community. On Friday, September 26, community members will participate in the unveiling of this groundbreaking mural.

Madison SOS recently announced plans for several new initiatives to connect teens as grassroots leaders on local issues.

As Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid sparks national discussion on women in political leadership, Madison SOS aims to turn a local spotlight on women leaders in grassroots politics and community leadership. On Thursday, November 15, Madison SOS will hold a community forum on local women in politics. Called “Voices of Courage,” the event will be held at the Monona Terrace.

Madison—Madison SOS (Speak Out, Sister!), an initiative launched earlier this year to engage and empower high school teen girls through city-wide leadership and grassroots activism, is looking for students interested in participating in its fall Young Women’s Leadership Forum.

Today, Girl Scouts of Black Hawk Council, YWCA Madison, the Wisconsin Women’s Network and Girl Neighborhood Power introduced a new leadership training program for high school-aged young women.
