Pre-Surveys
Submission Deadline: October 25, 2024 (Coordinator & Student)
Pre-Surveys help us measure student impact and tailor our programming. We use survey data to report out students' progress to our grant funders.
Please make sure each GirlsBuild member fills out their individual survey. (Note: each program has their specific sections so please make sure to select "GirlsBuild" as the correct program).
Brainstorming Your ProjectUse the Active Civic Engagement Guide and the budget template below to begin brainstorming the impact you want your GirlsBuild team project to have.
We are building a movement of civically engaged students through GirlsBuild. We hope that GirlsBuild can be your platform to get involved and make a difference in your community, in whatever area you are most passionate about. |

Project Planning Phase
Planning Phase Submission Deadline: December 2, 2024
December 2, 2024 marks the project planning phase submission deadline for Year 10. In no way do we expect your project to be perfect by this deadline.
Rather, we are checking your team's progress in planning out your project/budget for the spring. We are checking that your team has laid out the foundation of your website and social media platform.
This is a way for us to get an idea of how far you have come along in your project and what guidance we can offer.
