International Day of the Girl 2023
Launched in 2012 by the United Nations, International Day of the Girl is celebrated annually on October 11 to raise awareness of issues affecting girls and young women across the globe. Girls and young women worldwide are effecting change through their resourcefulness, creativity, and tenacity to make our communities better and stronger for ALL people.
Student Leadership Network, as a national leader in launching and supporting girls’ schools with its Whole Girl Education framework, is thrilled to see this year’s call for the global community to “Invest in Girls’ Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-being.” Join us in celebrating our network of girls and women–and learn what inspires and motivates them for a brighter future!

Partner Spotlight: The Estée Lauder Companies
The Estee Lauder Companies has partnered with Student Leadership Network for nearly 20 years to invest in girls and support them to learn, lead, and thrive. In honor of International Day of the Girl, ELC spotlighted some of the incredible young women supported through this partnership. ELC joined TYWLS students, families, and faculty in Brooklyn and Queens to celebrate the graduation of the class of 2023 and asked graduates to reflect on the change they want to be a part of in the world. Here’s what they had to say.
