“Chevron Empowers MyPower Girls” – MyPower, Inc. Receives $10,000 from Chevron

HOBBS, NM—MyPower, Inc. announced today that a $10,000.00 grant has been awarded to their organization to help fund MyPower, Inc. during their annual fundraising drive! MyPower, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) founded in 2009 in Hobbs, NM.  MyPower is all about empowering young women to successfully navigate the teen years by making good choices, setting goals, succeeding academically and avoiding teen pregnancy.  They provide straight talk about the issues the girls will face as they enter the teen years.

MyPower offers three programs at NO COST: MyPower Mentoring Circles, MyPower Middle School Edition and the MyPower-Quantum Leadership Camps.  One mother said after sending her daughter to MyPower, “I would recommend MyPower, because it paves the way for child-parent communication.  It also taught my daughter self-confidence and to accept herself for who she is. MyPower teaches self-love, kindness, setting boundaries, communication, honesty and accountability.”

Elaine Sena, Executive Director at MyPower, Inc. said, “The funding from Chevron will directly benefit the girls in our community and throughout Lea County.  It will be used to facilitate MyPower’s programs where girls will be empowered to be brave, use their voice, tackle their fears and live their very best life.” Chevron tailors their shareholder and community engagements to fit each community’s unique circumstances.  Chevron’s support for the MyPower program is consistent with their commitment to use their resources to ensure that communities are better able to build long-term prosperity by pursuing healthy behaviors.  Their continued partnership supports MyPower’s endeavors to reduce teen pregnancy and build self-empowerment for young girls throughout Lea County.
