Young Women's Health and Leadership Summit

CHECK OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING ON MARCH 5^TH

The Young Women’s Health Leadership Summit (YWHLS) is sponsored by the UCSF National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health in collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District. The goal of the YWHLS is to provide resources and information on a wide range of health topics to young women, hoping to bring empowerment and support for the young women to make wise decisions about their well-being and future endeavors. The theme for the 2013 summit is “We’re Girls! We’re Proud! We Live Out Loud!” Through this summit, we wish to educate, empower, and unite young women. The 2013 summit features workshops, an exhibit hall (consisting of resources such as job opportunities, health clinics, academic support, etc.), and a variety of presentations by women who serve as role models through sharing their inspiring stories of success and perseverance. This event will also include a panel of inspirational speakers, performance art, and an open-mic session where young women can raise their voices through self-expression, and a keynote speaker encouraging them toward community action.

The 2013 summit hopes to gather over 250 young women from over 20 high schools in San Francisco to represent the diversity and complexity of young women in the Bay area. This will be an inspiring and rare opportunity for young women to be surrounded by so many of their peers and from such a variety of backgrounds. So if you or anyone you know is interested and is in high school (girls only), information is provided below.
