Media Release: Girls of Impact Launches Community Outreach Initiative
On Thursday 12th October 2023, the Girls of Impact (GOI) Trinidad and Tobago launched its inaugural community and stakeholder outreach initiative, with a visit to the Bishops Centenary College in Port of Spain. Approximately fifty (50) young women (form 5 students) of the College participated in the exciting outreach programme, which lasted approximately 1 hour.
Three (3) members of the GOI Team facilitated this engagement, namely, Ms. Renee Atwell, Founder and Executive Director, who delivered the opening remarks and overview of the Organization, Ms. Kathrina Singh – Balroop, Assistant Director Membership, who took the opportunity to interact with students relative to membership opportunities at the GOI and Ms. Kemba Cox, Assistant Director, and Communications, who facilitated a brief presentation titled “Who am I? Recognizing Her Value Within”, which focuses on the impact of personal branding and self-awareness for one’s personal and professional development.
The workshop concluded with a brief interactive quiz where students grasped the opportunity to win exciting prizes/tokens. Overall, the outreach was deemed a success as it was well received by students and teachers who expressed their gratitude and excitement for the NGO’s return for future sessions.
This initiative was conceptualized by the Girls of Impact with the aim of creating awareness of the GOI Community, its purpose, mission, and vision, assisting in the personal and professional development of young through training and sensitization sessions, as well as, increasing stakeholder engagement and fostering relationships.
It is expected that the Girls of Impact will continue the roll out of this programme with partnerships with various schools, institutions and communities within Trinidad and Tobago within the upcoming year, with the facilitation of presentations on various subject matters including Career Planning/ Resume Writing, Image and Branding, Financial Management and Entrepreneurship.
