Earlier this year, the LA Promise Fund marked the 10th anniversary of the Girls Build National Summit, inspiring 6,000 Los Angeles students.
This year’s summit theme was “Girls (Re)Build Together” and focused on community rebuilding efforts following the January LA wildfires.
The summit featured panel discussions on leadership and well-being during crises, as well as a keynote address that focused on resilience and empowerment.
“Hello Future,” the opening segment of the event was an interactive college and career expo showcasing a variety of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) organizations to introduce students to new educational opportunities.
A virtual LinkedIn 101 workshop with the LA Promise Fund’s Black College Success program connected with over 50 talented students attending colleges around the U.S., diving deep into the world of professional networking and personal branding.
