The 2008-2009 workshop series was comprised of five digital media “sessions” of nine hours each (spread over three three-hour segments).  Teens researched and produced one video and one audio segment per session around specific women’s issue themes. 

Segment topics were:  Employment Rights for Teens, Resisting Teen Pregnancy, Pay Equity- Highlighting the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, Body Image, and Self-Empowerment “I Believe in Me”.
