No matter how far we dream, we'll always find our way back home. This year at jOURneys we look towards the vast possibilities that await us, from life after high school to life as a changemaker in our community, all the while remembering where we come from.

GirlForward exists because of our amazing constellation of sisterhood and support these past twelve years. Join us Wednesday, June 5th at The Firehouse Chicago, as we celebrate our GirlForward graduating class with a dazzling night of awards, refreshments, and our keynote speaker!

See more details below!

Early Bird Tickets before May 22nd are $125. After May 22nd, tickets are $150!
