ONE GIRL WITH COURAGE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
The YWCA of Olympia, in conjunction with Intel Corporation, will host a free community screening of the film Girl Rising at 7:00p.m. on Friday, May 3 at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.
This groundbreaking film is presented by 10×10 (a global action campaign for girls’ education and empowerment) and tells the stories of nine extraordinary girls from nine countries, written by nine celebrated writers, and narrated by nine renowned actresses. Directed by Academy Award nominee, Richard Robbins, Girl Rising showcases the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world.
Tickets for this event will not be sold; however patrons are welcome to “pay what they can” at the door. Following the screening, a panel of advocates and educators will discuss the film and local efforts to strengthen opportunities for girls’ education here in our community. A reception with the panelists and YWCA program staff will follow.
