The Girls Rule – Ignite Your Superpower event connects hundreds of high school girls with powerful women who have a passion to transform future generations. This event is attended by students with limited opportunities to be influenced and mentored by industry-leading women role models within their respective communities. Throughout the event, these students will engage with inspiring and exciting keynote speakers, participate in breakout sessions led by experienced women leaders, attend a fashion show luncheon and receive swag for long-lasting memories! Sessions will include discussions like self-care, discovering your superpower/passion, finding a meaningful career, goal setting, the value of mentors, how to stand out from the pack, the power of resiliency, etc.

The Girls Rule – Ignite Your Superpower Celebration event begins with lunch and keynote speaker Rachel McKenzie sharing her story of being her own successful entrepreneur, stepping out of the light of her “Super Bowl Champion” husband to find her passions, and she has MANY! The event continues with a fashion show featuring 15 of our students dressing for success alongside their mentors. Immediately following the fashion show and luncheon, the Celebration continues with a champagne toast and networking for our partners, speakers and facilitators. Join us to connect around a shared vision of transforming our future generation of young women.
