Altered NWLA to host event for teen girls to educate them about adulthood, future careers

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Altered Northwest Louisiana provides mentorship and empowerment programs for young women in the Shreveport­-Bossier City area.

The Game of Life is a classic pastime board game that takes players on the journey through adulthood. Altered NWLA is putting a real-life spin on the game and educating youths on the impactful financial decisions that they will soon face.

While finances might not be the most exciting topic, the nonprofit is making it fun.

Jeannette Cibley, co-founder of Altered, and Jason Shidiskis, events director, joined KSLA on Tuesday, Aug. 22 to speak about the event they’re hosting.

Girls Prepared = Success (GPS) is the event happening Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Academic Success Center (Louisiana Tech at BPCC), located at 6220 E. Texas St., Bldg. H, in Bossier City.
