Riverhead High School To Host Girls' Health, Wellness And Empowerment Conference On Saturday

The Girls’ Health, Wellness & Empowerment Conference will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Riverhead High School on 700 Harrison Avenue in Riverhead from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.

The conference will focus on motivating and empowering young women in high school to strengthen control of their health, fitness and overall well-being, while becoming aware of how they present themselves publicly. The goal of the conference is to encourage the young women to strive towards a better tomorrow and become strong leaders, employees, or entrepreneurs, who are developing skills to help build a strong future.

“I want young people to be able to create a vision for themselves based on positive energy and having a future, so that they can overcome any obstacle that life throws their way. This Conference will give them a step in that direction” said Maria Spera, Conference Co-Creator.

Girls, Inc., the Pederson-Krag Center, Riverhead High School, The Suah Center for Natural Healthcare, Peconic Pediatrics, Emily Newman, founder of Move Your Booty, Jennifer Conway, Yoga Instructor, and The Retreat, are just some of the donating providers on the East End coming together to present topics, such as health, dieting, eating healthy on-the-run, fitness, healthy relationships, and stress management at the event.

Retailers, like Reebok, Wilson’s Leather, Samsonite, Old Navy, Lane Bryant, among others, will sponsor a fashion show to display the latest fashion trends for young people, but more importantly, for different body types, so that any young woman will gain confidence and be empowered to wear what flatters them.
