Girl Up

Club Description

Girl Up's mission statement is to empower individuals on UVa's campus to become involved through education, advocacy, public service, and fundraising to allow adolescent girls around the world to reach their full potential. As a campaign of the UN Foundation, fundraising will support Girl Up and UN Foundation programs that directly contribute to the advancement of girls' rights, health, and education in developing countries.
