Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center's Girls' Leadership Worldwide Program 2016

Session 1: July 9-17, 2016
Session 2: July 23-July 31, 2016

Do you know promising young women who have the potential to become strong leaders? Then we'd like to tell you about the Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center's 2016 GIRLS' LEADERSHIP WORLDWIDE program. Now in its 20th year, GLW is an interactive, very diverse, transformational summer program for young women that unlocks their potential to become great leaders in their communities and beyond.

Please promote and encourage your club's high school age daughters to apply to the Eleanor Roosevelt Girls' Leadership Worldwide program. The ten-day program encourages 9th and 10th grade girls to go into public service and participate in social justice causes. It has been highly successful in developing self-esteem, confidence, self-definition, and leadership skills as well as social consciousness and commitment to citizenship in the participants. FAWCO girls who have participated in the program report that it was a life-changing experience. Click here for more information and the application: http://www.ervk.org/html/glw.html
