History of GFAC:
Girls for a Change is a grass-roots initiative designed to empower girls to embrace their future—confident in their individuality, supported by friends, parents and mentors, and secure in the their ability to lead and achieve self-sufficiency, fulfillment, balance and success. Founded in January 1997 by sixteen girls and their female mentors, Girls for a Change (GFAC) is a signature program of Thrive devoted to supporting and encouraging the successful development of girls.
GFAC Activities:
Each year GFAC plans an annual conference and fundraiser, does one local and one international community service project, participates and facilitates workshops and attends a retreat. GFAC participants also meet and facilitate activities with international visitors resulting in an ongoing dialogue about girls’ and women’s issues in different cultures.
