The program began with a breakfast buffet for the girls and several corporations and nonprofit organizations promoted safety and health on different tables. There was then a “Welcome speech” given by Ezra Helfand , the director of Wellspring Prevention Center. The Program began with a performance entitled Lady Parts presented by the Playground Theatre Project. All the young women were split up into different workshops on topics such as: Date Safety, Nutrition, Let’s Love Out Loud, Check it out & and Budget like a Boss.
Everyone received a lunch, compliments of the program, and then the girls were on to Workshop Session 2. This trip was a great experience for some of the young women of Dunellen High School. The girls were able to learn and take in a lot of information which they will all use to help benefit the other young women of DHS.
