Boys to Men / Girl Empowerment POWER HOUR
Heard you wanted to make a difference ...
 
We hear the phrase “TALK IS CHEAP”, but the reality of it is “TALK IS NOT CHEAP” … We too often talk about it, talk about our kids, and even share conversations of what we would do but we never show up on the front lines to do something about it. 
 
We are looking for motivational speakers for Temple High School’s Edward’s Academy Girl Empowerment and Boys-to-Men Power Hour Mentoring Program.  Our POWER HOUR is every Friday 1:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. We stand with research which tells us the more women and men we are able to expose our girls and boys to, the better equipped they will be for life challenges.  
 
We invite you to share your story.  I guarantee someone needs to hear from you.  
 
Please call us at 254-215-6944 or email to confirm your date and time to share with our students.
