Girls Rise is a women empowerment program to help our students build their confidence and leadership skills. We host 15-20 of our high school students after school from March until May once a week. Students learn how to find their passions and inspirations, design their own leadership mantra, and take these new skill sets with them on their future endeavors. Again this year Girls Rise is hosting Phyllis Breland for three sessions. This program also includes other guest speakers from our community who provide inspiration and resources for our students.

Thank you to the Women’s Fund of Herkimer & Oneida Counties for funding Girls Rise this year.
