Each fall, Girls For A Change hosts a Black Girl Rally to recruit girls and get them excited about upcoming Girls For A Change programs. Each rally has its own theme, and invites community leaders to come together with girls to solve problems and barriers they face in their daily lives.

As the Summer comes to an end, Girls For A Change participants find it hard to say goodbye to friends, staff, and their “second home.” Each year, we host an annual closing ceremony called Black Girl Wrap Up to celebrate the power of girls trying new things, discovering themselves, and creating sisterhood. The ceremony consists of a banquet dinner, awards, live music, and special guests.
