Celebrating International Women’s Day | Join us on Thursday for our ‘Learning to Break Barriers’ Spring Webinar Series Kickoff

Celebrating International Women’s Day

Today, and every day, we work to empower and transform the lives of women, girls, and their families right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

All across the globe, International Women’s Day aims to foster a world in which women experience equality, support, and inclusiveness.

To coincide with International Women’s Day, this week we are launching a series of webinars exploring regional challenges affecting women and girls today. We need YOU as we continue working to break down barriers that exist for women and girls across the region.
