Chnge4women is a club working towards educating their peers about feminism and positively changing their campus.

Run by the president and senior Yumnah Shoaib, the club has been ongoing for two years but more recently their main focus has been on their CSI project to donate feminine products to victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking. This project is paired with the Soroptimist Simi Valley, a global volunteer service organization for women. The club managed to raise around $500 through a GoFundMe to create care packages of basic necessities for women such as socks and pads, chapstick, motivational bracelets, and more. Now they’re geared toward bagging up their care packages and donating them.

The club meetings are every other Tuesday and feature different slide show topics about important women that are overlooked in history along with other topics such as abortion facts and school resources for mental health. The most recent club meeting was centered around important black women to celebrate Black History month which is during February. For the rest of the year, the club has planned to promote the powder puff game along with selling their own items of clothing such as hoodies or screen-printed t-shirts.

Their overall goal is to gain more outreach and get more students involved. The club has 100 people enrolled in their Remind app and about 20-30 participants at each meeting. The club supervisor is none other than Mrs. Jennifer Letus, a fantastic 10th and 11th-grade English teacher. When referring to the club Letus said, “I think it’s awesome that these topics are being discussed and truly cared about by people so young.” Senior Iliana Sierra said, “I just love to see girls supporting girls and I think a lot of the topics we talk about in here should be normalized.”
