Strong Women, Strong Girls

stronggirls

Strong Women, Strong Girls encourages and mentors girls with its national school program, and this October they are teaming up with the Dignity & Respect Campaign for Dignity & Respect Month!

This year’s Cultural Sensitivity lesson utilizes the D&R campaign and the pledge as its cornerstone. This means 1,400 girls participating in SWSG across the country will be learning about the D&R campaign, taking the pledge and bringing home information about the campaign. They are strongly encouraging our college mentors to do the Cultural Sensitivity lesson/pledge the week of October 24th and will be hosting a live-streaming event to get the word out!

Strong Women, Strong Girls college mentors in Pittsburgh will be conducting the Cultural Sensitivity lesson and Dignity & Respect pledge the week of October 24th. This event will be available live via web-streaming, so check out some of the events and videos at:
