Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Recreation and Parks to enter into a grant agreement with Role Model Magazine in support of the 2nd Annual Ohio’s Day of the Girl celebration, “Girls Speak Up.”
Role Model is a global social conscious lifestyle publication and brand for every girl, everywhere. They are committed to empowering the next generation of fearless, confident female leaders on their journey to becoming their best selves.
Role Model directly impacts thousands of girls between the ages 9-24 though their publication and events annually. Role Model nurtures young girls into smart, strong, bold, confident, and service-minded global leaders. They achieve this by introducing girls to positive role models, establishing partnerships and building relationships with adult mentors and peers; teaching life, college, career skills and engaging girls in service projects through their mentorship programs both locally and globally.
Role Model Magazine is proud to host its 2nd annual Day of the Girl celebration, “Girls Speak Up.” The event will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2017, at the McConnell Arts Center.
The Role Model objective is to showcase the creative and collective voices of girls in the community and to give the opportunity for leaders of our communities to hear directly from the girls about the issue and challenges they face and ways they can help them move forward.
Emergency action is requested in order to provide funding to Role Model in advance of the Day of the Girl celebration.
