Women's Giving Circle Opportunities

Girls in the Global Community: Volunteer at the 2012 Girl Power Summit!
The Girl Power Summit is an educational experience and an opportunity to enhance leadership skills and personal development for our female Club members. This conference brings together 80 young ladies and their advisors from Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta to discuss relevant issues facing young ladies today (and to have fun!). Support the Summit by volunteering in one of the following ways!

• Selection Committee: Help select the BGCMA members that will attend the 2012 Girl Power Summit.
      o What do I do? Review Girl Power Summit applications the week of February 28 and return your ratings to BGCMA by Wednesday, March 7

• Reflection Session Leader (Saturday, March 31, 8-4 p.m.)
      o What do I do? A reflection session leader assists girls in workshops and after each session, debriefs and reviews with girls the session content. You will need to attend a pre-training on March 8 at the Brookhaven Training Center from 6:00-7:30 p.m. At the pre-training you will get tips on group facilitation skills and youth engagement. You will also get creative ideas on how to create a profile for the girls to get to know you prior to the Summit.

• Event Logistics (Saturday, March 31, 7:00-8:45 a.m. or 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.)

How Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta Is Impacting Young Girls

BGCMA reaches an average of 1,380 girls ages 6-18 every day in 26 clubs across the region, many of whom come from single-parent, economically disadvantaged homes. The Women's Giving Circle has been created to help fund programs designed specifically for these girls.  The programs focus on academics, self-confidence, leadership skills, and healthy lifestyles - things these young women need to be successful in life.

Donations from Women's Giving Circle members will be used to support existing programs like SMART Girls, Girl Power Summit and Youth of the Year, as well as to develop new programs that address the evolving needs of young women in our community.

For more information about the Women's Giving Circle, please contact Lauren Race, Director of Individual Giving, at lrace@bgcma.org or 404.688.2765.
