📚🎒 Help a Student Start the School Year Strong!

The 2026 ARK Annual Uniform Drive is still underway, and you can make a difference from wherever you are.

We’ve created Amazon and Target wish lists filled with the exact items students need most. Every purchase is shipped directly to ARK and helps ensure local youth have the essentials they need to start the school year with confidence.

📚✨ Two opportunities. One mission. Countless possibilities.

This July, EmpowerHER is creating spaces where girls and women can learn, lead, connect, and grow.

🌸 Tea, Talk & Tomorrow | July 18
A mentorship tea party designed to bring together girls and women for meaningful conversations, encouragement, and authentic connection.

📖 Girls Book Club | July 22
An evening filled with inspiring books, honest conversations, confidence-building, and sisterhood in a safe space where every voice matters.

At ARK, we believe that every girl deserves to be seen, heard, and reminded of her potential. Sometimes, all it takes is one conversation, one mentor, or one book to change a life.

Because you’re only one resource away. 💙💛

Tag a girl, mentor, sister, daughter, or friend who should join us.

Every school year starts with a uniform. For thousands of DC students, that first day can hinge on one missing resource. Our 2026 Annual Uniform Drive is officially open. From now to August 8th, we are collecting collared shirts, pants, belts, socks, and underwear for students across DC public and charter schools. You are only one resource away from changing a child’s school year. Donate, shop our registries, or share this post. Link in bio. Tag so we can thank you.

As another school year comes to a close, we’re celebrating the growth, resilience, leadership, and confidence we’ve witnessed in every young person we had the privilege of serving this year. 🌟

From building leadership skills and exploring future careers to strengthening self-confidence, relationships, and emotional well-being, our students showed up, leaned in, and reminded us why this work matters.

To all of our Emerging Leaders, Nurturing Leaders: EmpowerHER participants, and youth across our community, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

We wish you a summer filled with joy, rest, adventure, new experiences, and unforgettable memories. Stay safe, continue believing in yourself, and remember that your future is full of possibilities.

See you next school year! ☀️💛
