The CWE focuses our community engagement around Girls in metro Atlanta. Check out some of our programs and events below:
GirlCon
GirlCon (formerly Girls in Sports Day) is an event that takes place annually at Emory University and encourages middle school girls to feel empowered in reaching their goals. Breakout sessions include topics that are relevant to the lives of girls and are vital for girls to reach their fullest potential. Workshop topics include body positivity, enacting community change, and self-love. We always end the day with a big celebration at the Women¿s Basketball Game.
