Community Foundation at 555 E. Wayne Street
May 1, 2024 | 8:45am
At the 2023 See the Girl Summit, we heard that local youth-serving organizations would love more opportunities to learn from one another and discover ways to collaborate. The Women’s Fund is launching a quarterly gathering to do just that: starting on February 7th, we invite any Allen County nonprofit that serves young women and girls ages 12-24 to come for an hour of networking, learning from one another, and finding ways to support each other as we support girls. Please feel free to bring any materials about new programs, a problem you’d like feedback on, or opportunities for other organizations to support what you’re doing.
For any questions, please contact Cassie at cbeer@cfgfw.org.
