See You at the Next Girl emPower Event!

Planning has begun on the 2024 Summit and pop-up events throughout the year

Our fourth annual Girl emPower Summit was held on September 23, 2023, at the Northern Virginia Community College Loudoun Campus. A record number of attendees (more than double last year!) enjoyed a star-studded group of speakers, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and volunteers.

The theme for this year’s Summit is Inner Radiance and Self-Empowerment, and more than 95% of surveyed attendees said they felt more confident about their future goals.

All girls in the Northern Virginia region aged 12-18 are invited to come meet with like-minded young leaders, as we imagined a brighter future for everyone.
