Da Village Community

Girlvolution is only a few weeks away and we’ve been so honored to support and the Youth Engagement Board planning team in designing transformative events.

One thing organizing as the village for so many years has taught us is the importance bringing diverse communities together to collectively dream and create magic.

That’s why we want to see community show up and show out for this conference. This conference was planned by our future leaders and is a moment where we can all dream of a better future together. A place to rest together. A place to feel held. A place to express yourself and connect with your inner child. A place to build new bridges across generations and identities. A space to support the youths next revolution… our bad, the girlvolution 😍🌻✨🫶🏿!

We’re still looking for volunteers (we need a lot lol) and registration is still open. Please RSVP so we can ensure we have enough food. Follow the link in our powerful voices bio for their profile to RSVP or volunteer.
