W/E Women's Empowerment Group

In early 2023 we officially launched our Women's Empowerment Group (W/E), the group will support Club activities for girls and help to provide resources for our staff and youth. So far the group has over 25 members and we would love to have you join us.

A huge thank to those who have gotten involved with W/E, we appreciate you!

The group served as advisors as we planned the first ever BGC W/E Women & Girls Conference, held on May 11, 2023 at our Spruce Street Clubhouse.  Female members of the community gathered to facilitate workshops and concersations as well as participate in group activities and empower young women.
