Standing on the Shoulders to Celebrate International Women’s Day at GCC

GREENFIELD — Greenfield Community College (GCC) will host Standing on the Shoulders, an event celebrating International Women’s Day, on Saturday, March 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the GCC Core Lobby. The event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome.

Through story, song and conversation, the program will honor the women who came before and continue to inspire courage across generations. Organizers say the gathering is designed to kindle a shared flame of hope rooted in community connection and a celebration of diversity.

Participants are invited to reflect on a woman, past or present — from history or their own family — who inspires them. Attendees are encouraged to bring a small item or object that represents that person for a small-group activity during the program.

The event, sponsored by GCC Community Engagement, is intended for adults, teens, and children age 7 and older. The program will be led by an ensemble including Rev. Sarah Pirtle, Carol Sartz, and Swansea Benham Bleicher. Click here for more information.
