Bankwell has donated $5,000 to LiveGirl, Inc., a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization that builds confident leaders. LiveGirl works with surrounding public schools and youth organizations to provide year-round, free-of-charge leadership development and mentoring for girls in grades 5 through college. Their programs are proven to build self-esteem, social emotional intelligence, and foster diversity.
LiveGirl and Bankwell will join forces to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th. This year’s theme is #ChooseToChallenge gender bias and inequality. The community is invited to join a Zoom conversation at noon featuring poetic activist She Will Speak and a Gen Z panel moderated by Dr. Vida Samuel, UConn Women’s Studies professor.
