Empowering young girls is a cause that needs community support and involvement. At Girls On Fire, we believe in creating opportunities for girls to learn, grow, and lead. This year, we have an exciting lineup of girls empowerment events happening across Alberta. These events are designed to inspire, educate, and empower girls of all ages. Here’s a look at some of the key events you don’t want to miss.

1. Girls On Fire Leadership Summit Our annual Leadership Summit is a premier event that brings together girls from all over Alberta for a day of learning and inspiration. The summit includes keynote speeches from successful female leaders, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities. Participants will gain valuable insights into leadership, personal development, and career planning. This event is a must-attend for any girl looking to develop her leadership potential. 

2. Empowerment Workshops Series Throughout the year, we host a series of empowerment workshops that focus on different aspects of personal and leadership development. These workshops cover topics such as confidence building, effective communication, goal setting, and resilience. Each workshop is designed to provide practical skills and tools that girls can use in their daily lives. Our workshop series is perfect for girls who want to continuously develop and refine their leadership abilities. 

3. Girls On Fire Summer Camps Our summer camps are an immersive experience that combines fun with personal growth. Held in various locations across Alberta, these camps offer activities such as team-building exercises, leadership challenges, creative projects, and outdoor adventures. Girls have the opportunity to make new friends, discover their strengths, and develop essential life skills. Our summer camps are designed to be both enjoyable and empowering, making them a highlight of the year for many participants. 

4. Community Service Projects We believe in the power of giving back to the community. Our community service projects provide girls with the opportunity to make a positive impact in their neighborhoods. This year, we have several projects planned, including environmental clean-ups, food drives, and volunteer work at local shelters. Participating in these projects teaches girls the value of civic engagement and social responsibility. It’s a great way for girls to develop empathy and leadership skills while making a difference. 

5. STEM Innovation Day Our STEM Innovation Day is dedicated to encouraging girls to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This event features hands-on workshops, interactive exhibits, and presentations from female STEM professionals. Girls will have the chance to experiment with robotics, coding, engineering challenges, and more. STEM Innovation Day aims to inspire a passion for STEM fields and show girls the exciting possibilities that these careers offer. 

6. Creative Arts Festival Our Creative Arts Festival celebrates the artistic talents of girls across Alberta. The festival includes workshops in various art forms such as painting, music, dance, and theater. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their work, receive feedback from professional artists, and collaborate with peers. The Creative Arts Festival is designed to nurture creativity and self-expression, empowering girls to explore their artistic potential.

7. Annual Fundraising Gala Our Annual Fundraising Gala is an elegant evening dedicated to celebrating the achievements of our participants and raising funds to support our programs.
