Our Summer campers have been working and playing hard at our EmpowHer Social Justice STEAM Camp! They have been learning to code, studying art as activism, attending field trips to museums, tide pooling on the beach, journaling, spending a 3-day overnight visit to USC's Wrigley Marine Science Center where they went snorkeling and kayaking, and attending interactive lectures with Marine Biologists. Check out photos from their first two weeks of fun exploration!

It's officially summer break for many of our EmpowHer girls! After a very hard working and full of learning academic year, summer is an exciting time for our youth to relax and have some fun in the sun.
