Other Events
In addition to the Annual Conference, the Indiana Girls Collaborative Project (INGCP) will host a variety of events for girl-serving organizations, educators, and business professionals in its area.
The project begins with a kick-off conference to announce the project and begin networking among the participants.
The kick-off conference is followed by two topic forums that provide professional development activities, highlight local programs, and continue the valuable networking experience.
During this time, programs have collaborated to apply for and earn mini-grant awards, then carry out those projects.
