Global Girls Summit

The Global Girls Summit is a one-day interactive symposium that engages middle school girls in unique learning activities focused on leadership and global citizenship.

The theme of the Summit is “Educate a Girl, Change the World.” The purpose of this summit is to develop leadership and skills, while increasing each participant’s awareness around challenges sub-Saharan African girls face, in relation to a range of topics, including education, health, and access to clean water. In addition, the summit will inspire and encourage participants to apply their leadership skills to find tangible solutions to challenges in a project-based activity. Students will also have the opportunity to engage in topics effecting girls globally through an open discussion.

This year, we are honored to announce that Tiara Willis will serve as the
Summit Keynote Speaker.
