A day dedicated to empowering girls, amplifying their voices, and celebrating their boundless potential. Together, we’ll inspire the next generation of leaders to rise, thrive, and change the world. Through hands-on workshops, inspiring speakers, and community-driven experiences, we’ll create a space where girls can see their dreams bloom. Let’s unite to build a future where every girl knows her worth and her power to shape the world.

Rising Voices: Black Women Leaders Reclaiming Philanthropy For Our Girls

ABOUT CHICAGO DAY OF THE GIRL
In 2012, the United Nations designated October 11th as International Day of the Girl. To commemorate this, GLMPI launched Chicago Day of the Girl, an event designed to connect inner-city girls in Chicago with a global community, advocating for their success despite the numerous challenges they encounter. Our commitment has earned recognition from Congressman Danny K. Davis, who acknowledged our work in the United States 114th Congress.
Since its beginning, this FREE event has reached over 500 girls, offering them a space to explore their cultural identities, access valuable community resources, and engage in workshops that foster self-worth and success.
Chicago Day of the Girl offers a unique opportunity for young women to be empowered, connect with their community, and explore diverse cultural identities. This event provides invaluable resources and experiences that will inspire lasting growth and success.
