Equity in your region. The work group seeks to bring together
girl-serving
organizations - for profit and not-for-profit - to help promote Gender
Equity in Southwestern Pennsylvania. It will be an incredible help to us if you could take about three minutes to participate in our survey. Just click here!
The
work group will compile the results of this survey in order to raise
awareness of this important issue, make connections amongst
girl-serving agencies, and promote gender equity in our region.
