MyPower, Inc. is a non-profit organization based out of Hobbs, NM.
After my daughter's promotion to 6th grade, I decided to apply on her behalf for the MyPower Leadership Camp which was held July 16-19, 2024.
She made the cut of who knows how many girls, but the camp ended up with a total of 150 students from Lea County. We received 3 post cards, a detailed letter, and text messages during the summer to remind & prepare us of the event.
This program was developed to empower young girls by helping them "make good choices, set goals, succeed academically, and avoid teen pregnancy."
It's high energy. Engaging. Interactive. Strategic. Comprehensive.
My daughter learned a few life lesson tips along the way. Made some new friends. And participated in a graduation celebration.
Because of this program, my daughter was much more confident going into middle school.
For all four days, the young girls were bused to the Hobbs High Freshman campus from a convenient location which was an elementary school. Given free camp t-shirts. Fed breakfast, snacks, and lunch then given a ride back to their local designated elementary campus.
Thanks to the financial support of numerous local organizations & companies including City of Hobbs, Lea County Board of Commissioners, Chevron, URENCO, and many more, this camp was free for all girls!
I have met the program's executive director who is an absolutely amazing, charming woman. She has an amazing team too & an outstanding volunteer base.
Highly recommend.
If you have a student who is currently a 5th grader, look into this program before it fills up fast!
