Youth Leadership Summit

At the eGirl Power Youth Leadership Summit, held on “Make a Difference Day”, high school girls led and participated in several community service projects to help others and the community, and support Gender Equality and Girls' Education.

At community service project stations led by an MI9 Team superhero and eGirl Power Friendship Ambassador, high school girls worked together to support girls' education in developing countries, sick girls in hospitals and female veterans.
