MARION HARVEY Y-Teen Program Director An opportunity to young wo men, challange to any adult: work with teen-agers, be a Y Teen ADVISER. Eight hundred Salem teenagers are Y-Teen club members; these girls range from twelve to seven teen tnd eighteen years of age, and they are in grades seven through twelve. This number of YWCA teen-age members grows each year; therefore the need for adequate club advisers also in creases each year. To work with teen-agers with their varied interests and activi ties is not only a great opportun ity, but also is a challenge to any adult. Teen-agers require guidance to grow as persons, to develop well rounded personali ties. Each club adviser meets with her group at the YWCA. j Senior high clubs meet twice aj month on Wednesday evenings. Junior high clubs meet one day each week for an hour after, school at the YWCA. The Y-Teen Program "What does a "Y-Teen adviser' do? What does the Y-Teen pro-1 gram include? The program was I developed (in 1881)to meet thei needs and interests of girls wherever they were. j Working towards their coal.1 all program with teen-agers in the YWCA creates a climate that will give youth an oportunity to have experiences that will enable them to: develop spiritual values that will be a guide to daily liv ing; become aware of democracy as a lormuia in numan relations; i build healthy personalities; growj in intergroup understanding; across racial, religious, and cult- j ural lines; understand the mean ing and responsibility of voca-1 lion; learn skills that lead to the i creative planning and carrying! through of leisure-time activities; ! be willing to understand and as sume the responsibilities and prlv eleges of citizenship, which begin at home and stretch to the whole j world. ' Whether you are a college stu- dent, wor&ing girl, young house-! wife and mother, or older person, girls and women are needed as a Y-Teen club adviser. Anyone interested in becoming one of this year's YWCA Y-Teen club advisers is asked to eall Brownie at the YWCA.
