Event Details

Are you a mighty girl*? Ready to become a mighty woman but have questions? Then join DMPL and community experts to get your questions answered in this four-session series. Know your body, know yourself, and get empowered!

Please sign up for the first session on July 12, which will enroll attendees in all following sessions as well. Although attendance at every session is strongly encouraged, it is not required.

Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom meeting information as well as information about when and how to pick up your Mighty Girl Empowerment Kit, which contains everything you'll need to participate in each session of the program. These will be available for pick up starting Thursday, July 1 at the Franklin Avenue Library youth desk.

The Mighty Girl Empowerment series seeks to empower and encourage independence among girls, so we respectfully suggest parents/caregivers do not participate in the Zoom sessions.
