What is “Girl Power Success”?
Girl Power Success or “GPS” is a one day event/workshop
for grade 9 girls from Stratford high schools. It is a day filled
with inspiration, information, networking with fellow
students and mentors, and fun. The sessions focus on topics
such as, nutrition, fitness, image, relationships, and career preparation.
Why did you create this workshop?
The GPS Mission is to:

women to achieve personal success in their lives
• Raise awareness, connect, and provide young women with
people, associations, and agencies available to them in
Stratford and area to aid in their success
• Encourage young women to follow their dreams and
“Believe in Themselves” to achieve success
