The Women’s Performance Group

Methacton High School - PA, Pennsylvania

The Women’s Performance Group considers itself more than just a club. It is an environment where young women and men consider women’s issues, develop their unique talents, nurture their aspirations, and support others who are in needs. The group often uses visual and performing aids in its many service learning projects. As members of this group, the students design and prepare each activity. Student officers and committees plan, oversee, and coordinate activities, and all members proudly demonstrate ownership of this service learning group. The women’s Performance Group is currently working with district elementary and middle schools and with other districts, encouraging them to start similar service learning programs. The group’s many projects include: Head Start Art & Literacy Program; Living Museum; Breast Cancer Awareness Month; Teddy Bear Drive; Women’s Performance Group Home Page; National Women’s History Month Celebrations and Conference; Montgomery County Women’s Conference; Wall of Women; and a Dance Program.

Campus Compact connects the campus with the city formally and informally, which is very useful in a variety of ways, from name recognition for service-learning and the university to developing and funding a new position that will foster relationships between schools, universities, and city offices."
