“Being content and
happy is true success. Yeah, don't say "I made it" because you
actually didn't, and you never actually will because the hands of time never
cease to move.” _Anonymous

Strong Women, Strong Girls
Strong Women, Strong Girls (SWSG) provides MDC students with
part-time AmeriCorps national service positions. SWSG helps recruit, train, and
support these women to serve as mentors to girls in grades 3-5.
The college women implement a project-based learning and
skill-building curriculum that provides the elementary school girls with
opportunities to develop positive self-efficacy, gain access to enrichment
experiences, and study contemporary and historic female role models.
Each of the college students selected for SWSG receive an
AmeriCorps stipend and an AmeriCorps Education Award (a combined value of
approximately $3000 per student). Miami Dade College uses the SWSG grant funds
to support program implementation including program supplies, postage, photocopying,
food, recognition, and field trips.
