FAWCO has been supporting the Eleanor Roosevelt Girls Leadership Worldwide since 2006 and each year, "FAWCO daughters" have attended this highly prestigious program offered every summer in New York. Julia Meloy Goldsby returned saying that the program had changed her life, "I’m paying tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt and her ideals by making my school a more nurturing environment for girls. I would encourage every teenage girl to apply to the GLW - it was the best experience of my life.” - Julia Meloy Goldsby, daughter of Robin Goldsby (AIWC Cologne)
