Young Women’s Empowerment Conference


The 2010 Young Women’s Empowerment Conference will be held on March 27th at the Central Birmingham YWCA. The conference founders will select 60-65 applicants to attend free of charge with lunch provided from All that Matters Catering.

The conference, which is sponsored in part by the YWCA of Central Birmingham, welcomes applications from teen girls ages 14-19, through Monday, March 15th. The summit will include three main speakers, as well as three panels focusing on preparation for college, careers in media, and careers in the medical sciences.

Girls are invited to apply online to attend the conference. Additionally, teens can have their parents, school advisors or volunteer coordinators nominate them for one of six awards to be given out at the conference. These applications are also available online. Sixty to sixty-five applicants will be chosen to come together for a day of education and entertainment. They will leave feeling empowered to help themselves and their communities.
