Scope and Contents

Documents concerning convention committees, constitution revisions, and group meetings at the Fifteenth National Convention of the Young Women's Christian Associations of the United State of America. The Convention Committee assess the past convention and collects feedback, plans the location and accommodations, and arranges programming and special speakers. Group meeting materials largely concern the meeting of adults responsible for work with younger girls. These discussions assess work with programs including YWCA of the U.S.A. Girl Reserve and the role of young women and girls in social movements. In addition, the leaders emphasize the educational atmosphere for these girls, getting support from parents, and family and social relationships. The group meetings concerning work with younger girls often draw from reports and accounts from the Girl Reserve members.
