Empower Women and Girls

Women and girls are the backbone of our communities, so it's vital to provide them with the resources to allow them to thrive. That's why GOOD is giving $2,500 to an idea that empowers and uplifts females. How could you positively affect their lives in your community? Perhaps you would teach a computer literacy course to women in Haiti, provide free maternal health advice to new mothers, or hold a retreat to boost self-confidence of local teen girls.

Empower Women and Girls challenge is open for submissions from September 19 to October 17 (noon Pacific Time). From October 18 to November 2 (noon Pacific Time), we'll open it up to public voting. Rally your colleagues and friends to get behind your effort and join the GOOD community in selecting the winner.
