Other Events

In addition to the Annual Conference, the Ohio Girls Collaborative Project (OGCP) 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.

Previous Events

• Ohio Kick-Off Conference
  The Great Lakes Girls Collaborative partnered with the Ohio Governor’s Women’s Summit, Momentum 2010, to host the Ohio Girls Collaborative Kick-Off Event on March 8, 2010. Momentum 2010 brought together hundreds of activists, advocates and organizations working to improve the economic, educational and health conditions of women and girls across Ohio. Hosting the Ohio Girls Collaborative Kick-Off at this forum helped the Collaborative develop a network of Ohio projects that promote girls in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) courses and careers. Participants learned about the Collaborative, received information about mini-grant opportunities, and made connections with other participants and community resources.
