Prairie View A&M University - The Texas Juvenile Crime Prevention Center at Prairie View A&M University is sponsoring the inaugural series of The Darden-Caldwell LeadHERship Series for Girls: 2021 Summer Camp named in honor of its alum, Ms. Phyllis Darden-Caldwell.  This one-day virtual conference is solely dedicated to girls in grades 9th – 12th and their parents or guardians.    A cadre of dynamic, diverse, competent, exciting, passionate, and engaging speakers will talk and generate audience interaction on Leadership, Academics, Social Justice, Health & Wellness, and Advocacy.

This series includes concurrent breakout sessions specifically designed for our student attendees, parent/guardian attendees, and joint sessions for both.

The Series begins promptly on Saturday, August 7th, at 9:30 am and ends at 3:00 pm.  We want the girls attending this series to leave believing their lives are filled with possibilities and understand that success is about overcoming obstacles, setting and achieving goals as well as accepting seemingly insurmountable challenges.  And for our parents or guardians; we want them to be empowered with knowledge and resources to effectively engage in their daughters’ epic journey of life. 

Please help us recruit 9th – 12th-grade girls and their parents/guardians to this phenomenal event.  Students must attend with either a parent or guardian, complete the attached application, and return to us as indicated no later than July 26, 2021.  Disseminating the flyer and application to students and parents/guardians who you know will be committed to attend is appreciated.
