Raleigh
Full Circles Foundation is a long-term, holistic empowerment track in the Southeastern United States for girls with high potential who face institutionalized obstacles, present or anticipated, to their health, economic security, and/or domestic safety. Through our community-driven programs, we grow strong girls, a fair economy, and a healthy earth.
In Summer 2011, we launched our pilot program, “The Strong Camps,” in Raleigh, North Carolina. “The Strong Camps” was a series of summer day camps for rising kindergarten, sixth, and ninth grade girls, including Strong Self Camp, Strong Neighbor Camp, and Strong Home Camp. The camps included hands-on, age-appropriate instruction in personal health and wellness, creative communication, civic efficacy, environmental literacy, and social entrepreneurship.
In Summer 2012, we will be expanding the Strong Camps to serve more girls (check out our sister program in Lexington!), converting a school bus to run on veggie oil, breaking ground on an FCF garden, and hosting our first overnight camp! We are also excited about improvements to our instructor enrichment program.
Program Instructors will spend their summer both learning and teaching. As a camp instructor, one will help develop curriculum, nurture local partnerships, generate resources, and build relationships with campers and their families. As an instructor, one will also gain new skills and insights, practice the Grand Aspirations Solutionary Method, and enjoy a community of empowerment. It will be a demanding, but transformative experience. We hope to read your application soon!
