The program empowers girls and provides the tools for them to tackle pressing issues in their communities and their lives -- gang violence, self esteem, drugs, bullying, human trafficking and poverty-- and teaches them how to collaborate together to create strategies for change. These young women come away from the program with leadership skills, confidence, and a strong sense of their role as changemakers in building a more promising future. This event sponsors include FAIR Vodka, Long Island Pulse Magazine and Sebonack Golf Club.
