The pandemic has reminded us that JOY is essential.

To apply for the $400 challenge award, young people will share their idea, explain how it spreads joy, and create a budget.  A committee of Youth Ambassadors will select the #BGJ Challenge winners.  The application will be open from Sunday, August 1, 2021 to Friday, August 20, 2021 for girls who live in the 12 states served by the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium (listed below)  APPLY HERE
