H.A.U.T.E. - Hopeful, Authentic, Unique, Teachable, and Empowered
Instead of a traditional Saturday morning meeting or after school event, the HAUTE Girl Experience was designed to provide maximum exposure to a different way of life. The trip includes visits to the High Museum Obama Portrait exhibits and the APEX Museum. Other notable activities include a luncheon at The Gathering Spot and a stop at For Keeps Bookstore on Auburn Ave.
"For more than 20 years, I've desired to help girls realize that their circumstances do not determine their futures. They can decide for themselves," states Lanita Lucas, EmpowerHer founder and Hillsborough County Schools Supervisor for Family and Community Engagement. "This is a full-circle moment because one of my former students is joining us as a chaperone."
With fiscal sponsorship by the Justice For All Foundation, the HAUTE Girls Experience has been championed with an outpouring of generosity. Sponsorships and donations have made this upcoming weekend a tangible reality for the high school girls attending. Additional donations can be made at www.JusticeForAllFoundation.org and labeled "EmpowerHer".
