illi News/10298248

CHICAGO - illiNews -- Chicago, IL — The Coalition on Urban Girls (CUG) is proud to reintroduce its mission as a collaborative hub for research, policy, and advocacy dedicated to uplifting the health, safety, and overall wellness of urban girls in Chicago.

At the heart of this renewed commitment is the unveiling of our new white paper, "Are the Girls Well?"—a critical resource that surfaces the lived experiences of girls in our city and outlines systemic changes needed to ensure they thrive.

We invite advocates, educators, youth leaders, policy makers, and community stakeholders to join us for an engaging and inspiring event that will:

• Explore the groundbreaking findings from our white paper
• Hear firsthand stories from girls who attended our pre-launch convening
• Engage in actionable discussions designed to co-create meaningful solutions
• Learn how to join our Communities of Practice (CoPs) and be a part of shaping the Quality of Life Plan (QLP) for girls in Chicago

"When we gather, we rise—and on our unity, urban girls find their voice, their strength, and their limitless potential. This coalition isn't just a meeting of minds; it's a movement of hearts reshaping futures."— Yolander Rivers, Steering Committee Member, CEO/Founder of YoSoul Yoga, LLC
