In 2012, the United Nations declared October 11th as International Day of the Girl. In observance, GLMPI produced Chicago Day of the Girl to connect Chicago's inner-city girls to a global community and advocate for their success beyond the myriad of injustices. As such, our efforts have been acknowledged by Congressman Danny K. Davis as Congressional Record during the United States 114th Congress. This flagship event is FREE and features spectacular cultural entertainment, community resource sharing, food, interactive fun games, raffle prizes, moderated panel discussion and workshops. To date, we have impacted more than 500 girls through this initiative.
