My dream is to build a community that listens to girls' voices - a city where teens know their actions can make a difference.

Madison SOS (Speak out, Sister!) will unite teen girls throughout Madison to identify and act on the community issues that most matter to them. Teens will develop leadership skills as they organize and implement initiatives addressing a variety of local issues - by creating an online forum for youth to connect on these issues, conducting a series of peer listening sessions, painting a visionary community mural, writing a report for community stakeholders, and leading grassroots, multigenerational action to advance their priority issues.

According to Natalia, "In this dynamic citizen-centered program, high school teen girls will lead a diverse group of peers in creating a platform for grassroots action on local issues, rooted in a vision for the future of their community."
