The army of WONDER GIRLS is on a mission to fight back, raise awareness, and prevent all forms of violence against women and children from happening in their communities by using their voices as a vehicle for change. The FREE Summit is open to teens, parents, and educators, and will be led by advocates, and experts to discuss the impact of crime and violence in our communities and preventative measures that we all need to be aware of including self-defense, first response, and online safety. WONDER GIRLS will also announce and grant the winner of the annual WONDER GIRLS scholarship for $1,500.
This event is part of WONDER GIRLS’ month-long campaign dedicated to helping teens stay safe on and offline and providing teens, parents, and educators with facts and important on how to keep our children safe. The campaign features an award-winning PSA created by high school WONDER GIRLS, and volunteer days, and a Goya Cares preventative education school assembly led by The Center for Safety and Change, offered for free to all schools.
