FutureTalks Celebrates 5 PDX Girls Nonprofits AND a Girls Inc. Fireside Chat!

Update! We're expanding this event to feature even more fantastic local nonprofits. Looking forward to seeing all of you on December 11!

Join us at New Relic for a night celebrating nonprofits supporting young women in Portland! The event will feature lightning talks from 5 outstanding organizations sharing how they support girls and how you can get involved in 2018! Learn about App Camp for Girls, ChickTech, Girls Inc., Rock and Roll Camp for Girls, and Skate like a Girl PDX.

Then settle in for a fireside chat with 3 young women from the greater Portland area who participate in the Girls Inc.'s Eureka! program. We will hear about their experiences in tech, what inspired them to explore STEM as a future career and how the Girls Inc. programming is helping them to be strong, smart and bold.

Finally, we’ll have a lightning talk from local teen author Jolie Brownell (https://www.metoogirl.com/jolie-brownell/) about empowerment and her personal journey!

There will be time for networking, eating, drinking and learning about each of these organizations with fun activities!

Anyone who donates to one of the participating girls nonprofits during the event through Give!Guide (https://giveguide.org/)will be eligible to participate in our raffle! Prizes include a ChickTech soft circuit kit (https://chicktech.org/kits/), a Skate Like a Girl PDX Skateboard (https://www.skatelikeagirlpdx.com/product-page/everybody-skates-complete-skateboard)and more!
