Help Melissa raise money

For participating in Constantine Yorkville Run

My Story…

On Saturday, September 19, 2020, I will be participating in the Yorkville 5K Virtual Run to raise funds for Girls E-Mentorship (GEM). GEM is a local registered charitable organization that offers an innovative mentorship program for high school girls facing multiple socio-economic barriers. Their one-on-one mentorship, GEMinar workshops, enrichment opportunities, scholarships and internships equips girls with the skills to achieve their academic and career potential and helping them to emerge as future female leaders. Each year, GEM turns away over half of all the applicants due to lack of funding. Your support will help GEM to increase the number of girls into their program annually.

Description

I am running for Girls E-Mentorship (GEM), a top 100 rated charity offering a research-based mentorship program where high school girls facing socioeconomic challenges will breakthrough barriers, build professional skills, and are afforded an equal opportunity to impact Canada’s future workforce. 

70% of applicants to GEM are turned away each year due to lack of funding. Your support will invest in equal opportunity for girls to create social change and make an economic impact. 

Thank you for investing in the next generation of girls.
