Enrollment Opens for Girls Inc. of the Valley’s 2024 Ambassador Program

HOLYOKE — Girls Inc. of the Valley announced its free 2024 Ambassador Program, hosting free workshops to support young professionals in the Valley with access to professional-development opportunities to grow their careers.

Applicants invited to join the Ambassador program will take part in a six-month, transformative journey with one-hour workshops hosted monthly focused on helping them develop skills — like personal finance, building mentoring relationships, and strategic grassroots fundraising — to accelerate their careers. Participants will take part in an online fundraising event held in May, along with a graduation event held in June.

The workshops will be held on the third Wednesday of every month from noon to 1 p.m. over Zoom, beginning in February and running through June. Those ages 18 and older are encouraged to apply.

We encourage anyone age 18 or older to apply.”
