Please help Berta Fogerson raise $1,000 for YWPN

“Public girls’ education holds immense significance to me, stemming from my personal journey as the first in my family to attend college. Education became the pivotal force that shattered the chains of generational poverty, paving the path to opportunities previously unseen. Through my own experience as a career educator, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of education, particularly in all-girls schools, where confidence, self-advocacy, leadership, and empowerment flourish among young women from various backgrounds. These institutions serve as incubators of potential, nurturing academic prowess and fostering the essential qualities needed for women to thrive in a diverse and dynamic world. Thus, “believing in the girl” and advocating for public girls’ education is a passion and a duty, ensuring that every girl has the chance to break barriers and shape their destiny, just as education did for me.”
