When a little boy asserts himself, he’s called a “leader.” Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded “bossy.” Words like bossy send a message: don’t raise your hand or speak up. By middle school, girls are less interested in leading than boys—a trend that continues into adulthood. Together we can encourage girls to lead.
Join us at one of two Ban Bossy events sponsored by our council; on Sunday, June 1, Ban the Bossy will take place at Cal State SB; on Saturday, July 26, Ban Bossy will take place at the Jack Bulik Teen Center in Fontana.

Hi there!
The July Ban Bossy event is being hosted by our GSSGC membership team instead of Kappa Delta. I believe they have only paper forms for the event, so please contact AThorneycroft@gssgc.org for more information. And thank you for reading!
