As the holiday season approaches, there’s a special initiative making waves that blends the spirit of giving with empowerment. LEAD Girls of NC, an organization dedicated to fostering leadership, confidence and opportunity in young girls, has launched a campaign for the holidays – Holiday for Her. This initiative is a simple yet powerful gesture aimed at brightening the season for young girls who are part of the LEAD Girls program.
The Gift of Empowerment
At its core, LEAD Girls Holiday for Her is about more than just presents; it’s about showing each girl that she is seen, valued and worthy of celebration. For many young girls, especially those in underrepresented communities, the holidays can sometimes feel like a reminder of what’s missing. This initiative seeks to change that by ensuring that each girl receives what she needs, including an outfit for the winter months, learning materials such as STEM kits and basic necessities such as deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes and haircare products.
How It Works
Holiday for Her involves the community coming together to contribute wishlist gifts for the girls in the LEAD program. Each gift serves as a reminder of the potential within these young women and the community that stands behind them, ready to support their dreams.
The Ripple Effect of Giving
While receiving gifts is certainly exciting, the true magic of Holiday for Her lies in the ripple effect it creates. By uplifting girls, the initiative encourages a cycle of kindness and empowerment that extends beyond the holiday season. LEAD girls who benefit from this campaign are inspired to one day pay it forward, helping others in their community or even becoming future leaders themselves.
How You Can Get Involved
There are many ways to support Holiday for Her, whether through direct donations online at leadgirlrs.org/donate, hosting a holiday donation box or volunteering. Your involvement can help create a ripple of kindness, support and empowerment that will last far beyond the holidays.
