You can support girls in Guatemala, Liberia, Ethiopia and Malawi by bringing together a group of passionate, dedicated girls who are ready to make a difference! That is what I did when six friends and I became the founding members of the Laurel School for Girls (LS4G) Girl Up Club!

Yesterday was such an exciting day! Some of the Girl Up Teen Advisors and I had an incredible time attending the 100th International Women's Day ceremony at the White House. From meeting First Lady Michelle Obama to supporting our very own Shannon McNamara as she opened the event, this day was unforgettable.

My name is Jenna, and I’m a Girl Up Teen Advisor. I’m writing to wish you all happy holidays and to remind everyone of the importance of giving during this holiday season!
