international women’s day with making changes

In recognition of International Women’s Day, come and learn more about how you can support Making Changes to #AccelerateAction. 

 

Women and girls still face barriers and biases that impact their personal and professional lives.  The closer we get to gender parity, the better it is for families, our community, and our economy.  But at the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158 – roughly five generations from now – to reach full gender parity. 

Since 1981, Making Changes has been providing innovative programming to support women and teen girls on their employment and education journey helping them to overcome these barriers.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, join us in partnering with The CORE on March 4th, 5th & 6th (10:30am – 2pm).

Activities will include:

  • Entertainment

  • Prizes/Giveaways

  • A backpack & purse drive (in support of Dress for Success Calgary & My Best Friend’s Closet programs)

  • Opportunities to learn how you can be Making Changes to #AccelerateAction

 Stay tuned for more details! 

If you’re interested in partnering with or supporting Making Changes for International Woman’s Day, please contact Lori James, Executive Director.
