MY WISH IS FOR GIRASOLES EN MARCHA TO BE THE BRIDGE WHERE WE CAN MERGE OUR AMERICAN CULTURE AND OUR LATINO ROOTS TO BUILD A NEW NARRATIVE THAT GIVES VALUE TO OUR IDENTITy.
We love that the group teaches the girls about strong, positive, artistic, and intelligent Latina girls and women. Before G.E.M we struggled to find programs and activities that provide my daughter rich cultural activities for her age group.
G.E.M empowers girls by building cultural connections. Culture competence is key in daily life. My daughter has put her own life into perspective and sees the world through compassionate eyes. She is learning about self-acceptance, self-esteem, and pushing through her own comfort zone.
Volunteering in this program was a great opportunity that I truly did appreciate. It improved my teaching skills with the girls and expanded my knowledge towards the Hispanic culture. It made me feel at home.
These young ladies are investing their time, heart and passion into building a better tomorrow. It's impressive on what a dedicated team can accomplish!
My daughter enjoys going everytime to learn more about how to be a leader and help the community.
Thank you for everything girasoles.
An Incredible group. They came to my book reading of "Dream Big" and touched my life with their dedication, courage, and desire to live the best life.
