2025 Dates Coming Soon!
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. In 2024, the Women’s Fund started a quarterly gathering to do just that! 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.
Please contact Patty Dunn for details. We’d love to see you there!
