- W227929404 abstract "Abstract Girls' Voices is a collaborative research project involving multi-tiered community-and university-based mentorship and a Young Women's Studies Club (YWSC) at Hoover High School in San Diego, California. Sine its inception 15 years ago, the Club meets weekly and engages in activities that address the life circumstances and coming-of-age issues faced by its membership. Thirty-five to 45 students (95% female) attend weekly. They are a widely diverse population: new immigrants from various parts of the globe, and mostly lower-socioeconomic status Southern Californians of color (Mexican, Asian, and African-American). English is not the first language for several of the members. Girls' Voices is a year-long participant-observer and oral history project conducted by key mentors with nine Club members. Ali activities were shared with interviewee's ideas, opinions and creative projects noted. At semester's end, one-on-one oral histories were conducted. These asked the girls to reflect on their: roles within their families; ethnic and racial identities; support networks, educational goals, non-school activities, and the impact of the YWSC on their self-perceptions and choices. This study adds considerably to the extant literature on immigrant daughter's experiences, girls of color coming of age, and the impact of multi-tiered mentoring within a feminist, race-conscious, and social justice framework. The activities are aimed at: improving self-esteem, encouraging and modeling the completion of high school and college applications, embracing healthy living behaviors (recognizing and avoiding relationship violence; understanding LGBTQ issues, sexual awareness; breast cancer knowledge; eating habits that promote energy and health and avoid eating disorders), and creative activities that foster knowledge of women's history, self-expression, appreciation of positive role models, honoring cultural traditions, and collective efforts among club members. The study, and the multi-tiered mentorship central to its implementation, offers insights into the value of a feminist collaborative mentoring. Keywords: Feminist mentoring; oral history; multiculturalism Introduction Girls' Foices is two-year long collaborative research project imbedded within the on-going activities and dynamics of the Young Women's Studies Club (YWSC) at Hoover High School in San Diego, California. Eight participants self-selected to: participate in all weekly Club activities with their mentor/researchers, engage in a 90 minute one-on-one interview with same, and be part of a follow-up focus group at the end of the research period. Our study explored issues germane to girls coming of age: multiculturalism, ethnic/racial and social class identities, familial and affectional relationships, self-esteem, the influence of feminist mentoring, and guided goal setting. We utilized the extant scholarly literature on girls negotiating young adulthood, oral history techniques and feminist methodology, pedagogical praxis, and analysis. Through these we offer insights into empowering mentoring and the value of learned self- respect for young women. Also examined in detail is the process of goal setting, both educationally and in one's life course. The organic nature of the Girls Voices collaborative research project also evokes insights into feminist collaboration and the value of mentoring for mentors. To understand the genesis and approach to our study, a thorough understanding of the YWSC itself is essential, and it is where we begin. Club History and Present Format The Origins and Mission of the Young Women's Studies Club (YWSC) The Department of Women's Studies at San Diego State University (SDSU), the oldest in the nation, began an innovative collaboration with nearby Hoover High School in San Diego in 1995. Hoover High is an inner-city public school located in City Heights with students from diverse ethnic, racial, international, and linguistic backgrounds (twenty-three different languages are spoken there, and newly arrived students come from sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America, China, Russia, and the Middle East). …" @default.
