With Jane Goodall’s unfortunate passing at the age of 91 last month, Girls Empowered wants to highlight her many incredible achievements. Jane was only 26 years old when she made her first trip to Tanzania and embarked on her research on chimpanzees in the wild. Her studies showed “how like us” chimpanzees are. She once shared that her love of animals began young, with books including Doctor Doolittle, and Tarzan, inspiring childhood dreams of living in Africa, among wildlife. Jane has also founded environmental programs, and spoken out regarding the climate crisis. With other accomplishments including a PhD in ethology (the study of animal behavior), founding the Jane Goodall Institute, with headquarters in Washington DC and offices in 25 cities around the world, and a U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, to name just a few. We think Jane Goodall was incredibly EMPOWERED!

Girls Empowered had a great time running a brand new program, Science of Happiness, for a Girl Scout troop. The girls learned what science says about how to be happy. Then they made "Happy Bags" filled with ways for them to feel happy, a gratitude journal, and affirmation cards. They wrote a note showing gratitude to a special person in their lives and a card for a person in a nursing home. Contact dawn@girlsempowered.org to schedule this program or another one for your Girl Scout troop or other girls' group.

🌟 Dawn H. Haaz, Psy.D., is the founder of Girls Empowered, Inc., a nonprofit on a mission to help girls build confidence & life skills that last a lifetime. While working toward her licensure as a psychologist in 2014, Dawn noticed girls as young as six & women well into their sixties facing the same challenges—low self-esteem, negative body image, unhealthy relationships, & lack of assertiveness. Inspired by this, she created a summer camp & began collaborating with community partners, work that would soon evolve into Girls Empowered.

🌟 Today, the organization has empowered more than 2,500 girls through 200+ programs & partnerships with over 80 local businesses & organizations. From building self-esteem to learning stress management & leadership skills, Girls Empowered gives girls the tools to find their voice & step into their power. Through this time, Dawn has also learned lessons about trusting in herself & embracing constructive criticism as she’s grown the organization & its impact.

🌟 For Dawn, the most rewarding part is seeing girls walk in shy & unsure, then leave with their heads held high. She’s passionate about creating balance between work, family, & self-care while continuing to expand Girls Empowered’s reach. Her vision is to build even more partnerships, grow programs, & continue empowering girls throughout the community.

“Wear Purple Thursday” is a day of action each October, during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Wearing purple this year today, on Thursday, October 16th offers a symbol of peace, unity, courage, survival, and support to domestic violence awareness. With an average of 24 people per minute in the US becoming victims of r**e, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, this is a harrowing issue. Local agencies such as A Woman's Place and Women’s Center of Montgomery County (check out the flyer for a benefit concert this weekend), as well as National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233) do such important work. Support, education, and discussion on this topic are so important for young people. Girls Empowered also does programs on healthy relationships and effective communication. Contact us at dawn@girlsempowered.org for more information and to schedule a program.
