    Opening Up Possibilities for Girls A report on supporting young women on the journey to new horizons Opening Up Possibilities for Girls A report on supporting young women on the journey to new horizons EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 introduction: why girls, why now? 4 how to empower girls to participate: positive youth development 10 Sunsilk’s approach: inspire, encourage, equip to explore 16 what’s next: SUnsilk’s agenda 24 endnotes 27 references 29 1 FOREWORD The world has much to gain from the activation of youth as learners, dreamers and innovators. However, far too often young people, and particularly adolescent girls and young women, face barriers to realizing their possibilities and participating fully and equally in society. At Sunsilk we have made it our mission to open up possibilities and expand girls’ and young women’s horizons—to assist girls and young women in exploring and, through exploration, meeting people who inspire them to dream bigger, dream differently, and turn their dreams into reality. This paper, written in partnership with the International Center for Research on Women, describes the rationale for Sunsilk’s strategy and reviews the global evidence that guides and shapes its goals. It also serves to expand knowledge about the innovative strategies Sunsilk is using to open up possibilities for girls. To open up possibilities for girls is to enable them to overcome limiting norms, in order to increase their personal potential to develop strengths, exercise agency, and achieve goals Sunsilk’s aim is to empower and equip girls with the vision, support, skills and confidence they need to start exploring their possibilities—ultimately stretching the horizon of what they believe they can be and achieve.

  • XVIII AIRBORNE CORPS ASSOCIATION SKY DRAGONS Spring 2012 ------82ND DOMINATES XVIII ABN CORPS NCO and SOLDIER of YEAR COMPETITION
    XVIII AIRBORNE CORPS ASSOCIATION SKY DRAGONS Spring 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 82ND DOMINATES XVIII ABN CORPS NCO AND SOLDIER OF YEAR COMPETITION Left to Right – CSM (Ret) Ted Gaweda, Pfc. Jeremy Shivick, Sgt. Jason Thomas, Alan Yeater On 5 April in a ceremony conducted at Sports USA, a huge sports bar at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, two paratroopers of the XVIII Airborne Corps' 82nd Airborne Division were selected as the XVIII Airborne Corps' 2012 NCO and Soldier of the Year. They were Sgt. Jason T. Thomas, 26, and Pfc. Jeremy Shivick, 21. Both Soldiers are assigned to the 1st Platoon, C Company, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which is part of the division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team (BCT). This is 2 the first time that both winners were from the same unit. The competition was held from 2 to 4 April, and the winners were announced during the ceremony which was presided over by the Ft. Bragg Garrison Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Samuel Campbell and the command sergeant major of XVIII Abn Corps' NCO Academy, CSM Nicolino Parisi. These were four days of grueling, early morning and late night events which included basic Soldier skills, the Army physical fitness test, a written exam, urban map orienteering, M4 rifle qualification, a weapons event, and an interview board. The competition certainly challenged the confidence and motivation of the Soldiers. Twenty-one Soldiers competed, representing each subordinate unit of the XVIII Abn Corps. Spc. Michael C. Lauritzen, from Jackson, Michigan, assigned to the 716th MP Battalion, 16th MP Brigade, Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, was quoted saying, “I'm grateful for being here, glad that my leadership had the confidence in me to compete at this level.
