Empowered Black Girl Program 2024
My name is Akorede, and I am interning with Black Women Connect Vancouver.
I am reaching out to tell you about the Empowered Black Girl program, as we are building on the momentum from last year and planning for EBG 2023 is already underway.
Empowered Black Girl is a conference for Black girls in the Vancouver lower mainland area of British Columbia between grades 8 -12. The program was created to provide a platform for Black girls to interact & have empowering discussions with Black women to promote representation and provide resources for different aspects of daily life.
The program focus areas are Community Development, Health & Wellness, STEM, Personal Development and Mentorship. This year, the in-person summit will take place on July 3rd to 6th 2024 and applications will open on May 1st, 2024.
EBG is scaling up with hopes to drastically increase our program participation. We would like the opportunity to share the information about our program with your students. We have also attached cards to save the dates. Empowered Black Girl 2023 Wrap Up Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZuXhTAMq0c&t=2s

ACE Microcredential: Introductory Design and Technical Skills for Architecture, Construction &
Engineering Are you currently in grade 12 and interested in Architecture, Construction or Engineering? BCIT’s “ACE” Program will introduce students to the entry level design, technical and communication skills that are highly sought after by today’s top employers in these fields.
While the July 2024 intake of the ACE Certificate is open to students currently enrolled in Grade 12 expecting to graduate in June 2024, as well as recent (i.e. 2023) high school graduates, we are specifically interested in reaching students who would truly benefit from this opportunity. This program is specifically targeted at students who are not considering post-secondary education in the Fall for scholastic or financial reasons, and/or students who are facing other barriers that inhibit their ability to pursue further education. This unique opportunity to access a tuition-sponsored (no cost to student) BCIT Certificate and paid practicum placements in the in-demand ACE sector is intended to support a diverse cohort of students with the attitude and aptitude to make the most of this program.
We would really appreciate it if you could reach out to students directly who might not foresee this as an opportunity for them based on perceived limitations to pursue post-secondary and would benefit from this exploratory program.
