The Empowering Girls initiative is one of three Presidential Initiatives for Rotary year 2021-2022 as we Serve to Change Lives.
The initiative is focused on club-level projects through which Rotary clubs can create positive change in the lives of girls.
Specifically, the initiative challenges clubs to:
- Engage in a project or projects of their choice that empowers girls.
- Address the needs and inequities that girls throughout the world face on a daily basis.
- In addition to implementing a project, monitor and measure the impact of the project.
- Disseminate and create awareness of Rotary resources and subject matter experts, including but not limited to: Rotary Action Groups, Rotary Foundation cadre and Peace Fellows.
- Tell the stories of successful projects and their impact to the general public, using a variety of media channels.
- Share the stories of success and their impact across their region and post them on Rotary Showcase, as well as on social media channels.
We will be looking for assistants in our Zones to work with us as we spread the word of this initiative in the coming months.
Watch for more exciting news as this initiative develops!
