•Dance Company and WPG Theatre – Our performing arts programs bring visual and kinesthetic form to human rights issues and women’s experiences. We perform for colleges, conferences, schools, hospitals, and special programs. Rehearsals/Meeting as needed starting in September.
-
•The Clothesline Project - WPG began its first CLP on April of 2014. It is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. With the support of many, it has since spread world-wide.
-
•Amnesty International - Students consider human rights issues through active participation in Amnesty International. WPG runs the student AI chapter. We write letters and organize events to help those whose human rights are being violated. Letter writing once a month.
• Head Start Art & Literacy Program - Members teach preschoolers once a
month. Planning meetings usually on Tuesday at 3:00.
-
•Walks and Awareness Programs – Members organize and participate in various walks and programs to help raise awareness about issues such as Breast Cancer, Domestic Violence, and Multiple Sclerosis.
WPG performs throughout the county and in Philadelphia at schools, hospitals, colleges, conferences and workshops.
