About Us
From Potential to Power: EmpowerHER
We are addressing the lack of representation and participation of young women in local government and civic activities.
​
Despite recently electing our first woman Mayor, Philadelphia continues to face challenges in ensuring that all voices are heard and represented in decision-making processes.
GIG recognizes the importance of amplifying the voices of young women and providing them with the resources they need to engage meaningfully in shaping the future of their city.
