My Project

I was just given the green light to start a group at my school for 4th & 5th grade female-Identifying students, with the goal of empowering them, supporting each other, discussing important issues, and of course having FUN! We met for the first time today, and they are all super excited to be a part of the group. We talked about community service projects we would like to do, various projects, and maybe even a field trip! I asked them what other activities they wanted to do during our meet-ups... and they sure told me! Everything that I'm asking for in this proposal is something that was asked for by one (or several) girls in the group.

As well all know, the gender gap still exists, and I do believe that it is our responsibility to level the playing field for future generations.

Thank you for your consideration in helping me to create a safe, supportive, and FUN space for tomorrow's leaders.
