Day 23: Focus on Education - Ashley Steimer, Program Director of Girls Learn International
Ashley Steimer is the Program Director of Girls Learn International®, Inc. (GLI). Girls Learn gives American girls a voice in the movement for universal girls' education, and has over sixty chapters in middle and high schools across the United States. Each chapter has an international Partner School, located in a country where girls have traditionally been denied access to education. American students communicate with the students of their Partner Schools through cultural exchange projects. The GLI Program supports the empowerment of American students as they discover that through their own creative initiatives, dedication and passionate leadership, students can create real solutions that address the obstacles facing girls and women in developing countries and be leaders in the movement to affect positive change for girls and women worldwide.
