3rd Annual Girls in Action Summit
October 2, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
$5Join The Fund for our third annual Girls in Action Summit! Inspired by our award-winning Girls Advisory Board (GAB) girls’ grantmaking and leadership program, the Summit engages high school girls throughout Chester County for an empowering morning of action. Girls (grades 9-12) from all over Chester County are invited to learn about the deep and varied needs in their communities while engaging in strategic grantmaking. This year, we are thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Lynette Medley, Founder and CEO of No More Secrets: Mind Body Spirit Inc. An expert in areas of gender justice, racial justice, reproductive justice and menstrual justice, her passion lies in promoting inclusivity. Recently, Lynette and her daughter Nya opened The SPOT Period — the nation’s first crowdfunded menstrual hub — in Philadelphia. Register at: bit.ly/3uAhPZi
MENSTRUAL PRODUCT DRIVE: At this year’s Summit, we will be collecting period products (tampons, pads, wipes, liners, and menstrual cups) to donate to No More Secrets and local women and girls in need.
