Escape Into GirlForward

Join us as we escape into GirlForward! We're excited to welcome Johanna Hosking-Pulido, the executive director for GirlForward, to the conversation! GirlForward is a community of support dedicated to creating and enhancing opportunities for girls who have been displaced globally by conflict and persecution. GirlForward supports girls in grades 9-12 who are refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers through three core programs: mentoring, education, and safe spaces. Every girl in their community has a unique story that continues to be written, and each year they serve over 200 girls, helping them overcome barriers like disrupted education, language challenges, and isolation.
