About this event

This year Curate Your Life is taking our 3rd Annual Summit to the city of Trenton!

Workshop #1

will be hosted by our co-sponsors from the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice which will examine youth incarceration and the youth facilities that operate in NJ, specifically the Hayes Correctional Facility for Women/Girls in Bordentown, NJ. Participants will look at campaigns in place to end youth incarceration in NJ.

Workshop #2

ARTivism exposes girls to a different way of doing art by using it as a tool to drive social change in their community whether it's storytelling through social media, photography, paintings, drawing, murals, etc.

Workshop #3

Hidden Treasure: Finding the LeadHER in you!

How do you define leadership? Do you consider yourself a leader? Can anyone be a leader? Take a step away from the typical definition of leadership and consider how you can find the "leader within". In this workshop, Tyneisha Gibbs will help you to dig deep and uncover the leader inside you! Identifying your individual abilities as a leader can be a difficult task. The "leader within" is a reflection of your personal aspirations, passions and desires and the manner in which you utilize those attributes in meeting your goals. Target age group 10 and up!
