A coalition of local groups will host the 2nd Annual El Paso Girl Empowerment Festival on May 7th. This is a full-day conference aimed at empowering local middle school girls through hands-on workshops, an agency fair, interactive presentations, and creative self expression activities. Girls will develop their confidence, self-esteem and body image while building resiliency to substance abuse, teen pregnancy, peer pressure, bullying, teen dating violence and other important youth issues. We are expecting approximately 200 local middle school girls.
