Our Girlfriends Group program has a mission to impact their community positively. Recently, they decided to do so by writing an empowerment article for our very own newsletter. Enjoy!
Community Belonging
In our community, there are many places we feel we belong. These include the places we work, where we enjoy activities and clubs, and where we enjoy our community offerings. We belong where you belong, and we all belong in the community together.
When we are in our communities, we are ambassadors, or leaders, to help all people feel included. It is important to teach and show others what inclusion looks like, whether we are at work, enjoying time out with friends or family, or doing a volunteer project. We get to lend a helping hand to those who need it and help others be their best selves. We also get to meet people with unique abilities and help everyone feel included.
Having a place to belong fills us with a sense of purpose. You’re not worried about being judged or not being good enough - you can just be yourself. It fills you with confidence and makes you less scared of not fitting in. Having places like this makes us feel supported and makes the world a better place.
Being part of a community is about helping others feel welcomed. We can make people feel welcomed by being kind, accepting, and letting them know they belong. It is important to be kind and accepting because it feels AWESOME!
