We attended Greater Fort Wayne's Women’s Network for their annual half-day conference designed to connect, inspire, and empower women. Topics included resilience, compassion fatigue, setting boundaries, mental health, and imposter syndrome.

We left feeling inspired and connected!

“Indiana ranks 4th in the nation when it comes to high school r**e, and we have one of the highest backlogs of untested r**e kits in the country,” she said. “We do a lot of advocacy focused on domestic and sexual violence right here in our county.”

Give to Women and Girls Day is October 11! Please give: bit.ly/WFgivenow

Your gift will go even further thanks to a generous dollar-for-dollar match from the Lilly Foundation.

Your gift will help:
Support survivors of gender-based violence
Develop the 2027 Invisible Girls Report
Expand opportunities through internships and workshops

Only 2% of charitable giving supports organizations serving women and girls. Imagine what’s possible if we stop asking them to do more with less.

Together, we can make Northeast Indiana a place where women and girls thrive.

WOW! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT GAVE!

Our Girls Research Committee's Dignity Drive delivered all of the assembled kits to the Youth Services Center and the Allen County Juvenile Center! We had over 7,000 items collected, sorted, and inventoried!

This outpouring of love and support is absolutely incredible and we could not be more proud of our students and their efforts!
