Girls Rock with Docs – June 2024 (in collaboration with Livingstone College and F.A.C.T.)
Date: TBA AAUW Salisbury believes exposing girls with opportunities to learn about positive self-image, values-based decision making, healthy relationships, goal setting, and leadership, is essential to the developmental journey into womanhood. Therefore, it is our goal to inspire, enrich, and educate young girls through raising awareness, demonstrating assertiveness, and cultivating self-respect. Through Girls Rock with Docs, AAUW will promote interactive discussions between college women and youth, and introduce our participants to intelligent and professional purposeful women, as we hope to inspire these partakers to pursue similar career paths, especially in STEM. We encourage girls aged 7 – 17 to join us for a day of inspiration and an opportunity to learn from successful women and connect with other girls in the community.
