Path to Empowerment: Empowering High School Girls forum

The Path to Empowerment: Empowering High School Girls forum is brought to you by SHS student Sonya Chen in partnership with the Greenburgh and Scarsdale Public Libraries.

This series was designed to equip girls to feel more empowered, self-confident, and better prepared to handle the day-to-day challenges they encounter. Participation is open to high school girls in grades 9-12.

Consisting of six program sessions co-hosted alternately by Greenburgh Public Library and Scarsdale Public Library from January to June 2023, the programs will take place on the second Tuesday of the month at 7 PM in hybrid format.

To register for this session, scroll down to the bottom of this page, complete the required fields, and click “Register.” Registration is encouraged as space is limited, and registered attendees will be accommodated ahead of walk-ins.
