Annual EmpowHERment Summit

The Annual EmpowHERment Teen Summit is approaching in a few months, and we would love to invite all female students grades 6-12 to become a part of the event this year. If you are not already familiar, EmpowHERment, Inc. is a local nonprofit organization committed to empowering a continuous network of girls and women to be leaders through mentorship, talent development, and advocacy - helping to build a sustainable pipeline of female leaders.  

This year's summit, focuses on the power of girls breaking barriers and changing their narrative as they realize their full potential and strengthen their voice, talent and network as leaders. It will be held at Butler High School on Saturday, September 21 from 9am - 3pm. It will be a day filled with leadership development, community service and fun!
