On March 28th, 2025, we welcomed over 300 high school girls to BNY for a powerful day of learning, leadership, and connection at our annual Girls Symposium. This event continues to be a cornerstone of our mission—empowering young women with the skills, confidence, and support they need to lead in their communities and beyond.

A heartfelt thank you to BNY for being such generous hosts and for over 15 years of partnership in uplifting young women across NYC. Your continued support makes this event possible year after year.

We are also incredibly grateful to the volunteers, speakers, and workshop leaders whose time, expertise, and dedication left a lasting impact on every young woman in the room. Your commitment to fostering the next generation of leaders does not go unnoticed.

And of course, a special thank you to the remarkable young women who attended. Your passion for change and leadership is truly inspiring. It all starts with showing up, and you did just that.

As we reflect on this incredible day, we are already looking ahead to next year, eager to build on this momentum and create an even more impactful experience. Thank you to everyone who made Girls Symposium 2025 a success!
