Young Women’s Conference Message

“Head’s UP! Keep your eyes peeled for The Young Women’s Conference to be held at OISE on Thursday May 6.

Our theme is Empowerment! The objectives for this conference are to provide a non- competitive, safe and bias free forum where young girls can connect, interact and learn from one another. A variety of topics will be introduced to educate and inspire via interactive, hands on workshops on a variety of issues.
Elementary Teachers will provide release time for one teacher per school. Refreshments and lunch for students will be provided. Schools are responsible for providing transportation.


Start thinking about potential girls to bring as applications will only be considered with names attached.


Deadline for applications will be April 15. Hope to see you there!
