Before we created this amazing group, we were just a couple of students in the East. We all had ambitions, and hankered to take some problems into our own hands to solve, but not knowing where to go or inaugurate. This was until we attended a virtual GirlsBuild Summit in 2020! Groups of girls and students from neighboring schools were featured in the summit, who were community leaders and had great citizenship. Inspired, us girls and students decided to form our own little group and do the same. Starting from a group of girls and students dreaming to make some change to having been approved by GirlsBuild as an official team, we have all been engaged to be part of a mission. And little by little, we finally achieved something that we didn't know would come true.
Our 1st year as a GirlsBuild team 2020-2021
After attending GirlsBuild Summit in 2020, a group of us decided to form our team and started to meet weekly on Tuesdays. During our meetings, we all collaborated and discussed what direction we wanted our group to go. We decided to host a series of presentations reaching our Griffith community and East LA community.
