Girls Inc.’s Annual Champions for Girls Breakfast following International Day of the Girl –

On October 16, 2024 we will celebrate the International Day of the Girl with our annual Girls Inc. Champions for Girls Breakfast. The International Day of the Girl highlights the very fundamentals of what Girls Inc. stands for. Every day, girls are taking action to realize a vision of a world in which all girls are protected, respected and empowered. With the right support, resources and opportunities, the potential of girls is limitless. And when girls lead, the impact is immediate and wide reaching: families, communities and economies are all stronger, our future brighter. We are pleased to invite the community to join us for this inspiring event in celebration of girls. 

This year, we are hosting this special event at the Maitland Education & Recreation Centre in Maitland. Girls Inc. girls will host the event and we’ll have an informative discussion with CAMH Program Officer and author of the children’s book Body Image: Because All Bodies are Great Bodies, Tierra Hohn, about her experiences at the intersection of mental health and body image. Tierra will provide practical, relatable, and insightful ways to support girls and young women on their journeys toward self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-expression. 

Please join us for a full hearty breakfast, catered by Ambrosia Kitchen, a morning of learning, fun, and meeting new friends and old as we gather as a community for a day of celebration. All are welcome. 

Visit us on social media @GirlsIncUC or at girlsinc-uppercanada.org for more information about registering for or sponsoring the event. We are so excited to see you on October 16th!

On International Day of the Girl we highlight the Girls Inc. Difference, showcasing our evidence-based, girl-centered programming and spotlighting the perspectives of girls from our network who have benefited from participating in Girls Inc. Our goal at Girls Inc. is to give girls the tools and opportunities to discover their strengths and harness them to create meaningful change in their own lives and in the world at large.

Girls Incorporated of Upper Canada is a non-profit organization that focuses on the development of the whole girl. A combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment and research-based programming equips girls to lead fulfilling and productive lives, break the cycle of poverty, and become role models in their community.
