What if collage could help you tell your story?
The GOC COLLECTIVE INC is gathering this Monday, April 13th, for a FREE virtual workshop on the art of collage as a tool for storytelling and visual expression, and we have a few spots left!
Join us as multidisciplinary graphic designer and educator Lucy Zou guides us through how collage can unlock creativity, voice, and meaning in ways words sometimes can't.
Monday, April 13, 2026
5:00 – 6:00 PM EST
Zoom (free to attend)

This is a space to create, connect, and express — no artistic experience needed. Just come, curious.

Spots are limited, so register now (you'll receive a Zoom link) and share it with someone who needs this!

GOC Collective was built on one belief: when women and girls of color have spaces to gather and be seen, communities transform.

Our Founder, Desireé Desiree Robertson, just returned from the 2026 U.S. Soccer Foundation's Facilitator Summit in Charlotte, NC!

From participating in training sessions to getting on the court for soccer skill development — this is what capacity building looks like in action! When we say we train the trainers, we mean it.
Highlights included Coach-Mentor Training, the Soccer for Success Afterschool program, and the powerful "Count Her In" initiative empowering girls in sport.
Proud to see our mission reflected through partnerships like this one! 💛

Before this year ends, I'm asking you to invest in something different. [Watch the video below]
GOC COLLECTIVE is a capacity-building hub for organizations serving women and girls of color.
We don't run one-off programs. We strengthen the people doing the work—through frameworks, tools, convenings, and community.
When you give before December 31st, your tax-deductible gift doesn't fund one program. It multiplies:
→ 1 investment contributes to multiple organizations strengthened to 1,000 girls impacted
Right now, GOC is seeking seed funding to get our programming out to the communities and create more training curriculum.
Will you invest in the movement for our girls?
💚 Donate before Dec 31: https://www.goccollective.org/donate-2

For 18 years, our Founder & Chief Visionary Officer, Desiree Robertson, watched the same pattern:
Brilliant young women of color entering programs full of hope… and leaving when those programs failed to see their whole selves.
The GOC COLLECTIVE INC. was born from one powerful question:
“What if we’re solving the wrong problem?”
At our virtual launch, Desireé will share how that question became a framework, a pilot across 6 states, and now a global vision.
