2024-2025 New Member Project: EmpowHER

This year, our incredible new member class created a project that will leave a lasting impact on local young women. In line with the Junior League of Murfreesboro’s mission of promoting voluntarism and improving the community, our new members hosted the EmpowHER event, an inspiring workshop designed to equip middle school girls with the tools and confidence they need to thrive.

The Goal:

Adolescence is a pivotal time for young girls, filled with both opportunity and challenge. EmpowHER was created to help local girls navigate this important stage with resilience and confidence. Through interactive sessions on self-esteem, leadership, and life skills, this event provided tangible resources and positive role models to help attendees grow into empowered young women.

What Was Included:

The event welcomed middle school girls from across our community and offered:

• Interactive workshops on self-confidence, goal setting, and healthy relationships
• A panel of inspiring women leaders who shared personal stories and advice
• Breakout sessions focused on leadership development and communication skills
• Fun activities designed to build connections and foster creativity
• A take-home EmpowHER toolkit filled with journals, affirmations, and resources

The Impact:

EmpowHER was more than a one-day event; it was an opportunity to plant seeds of confidence, leadership, and self-worth in the lives of young girls. The workshops and interactions empowered participants to embrace their strengths, speak up for themselves and others, and envision bright futures.

A Team Effort:

The success of EmpowHER was made possible by the dedication of our new member class, who planned and executed every detail of the event. From securing speakers and designing workshops to creating the take-home toolkits, this project showcased the heart of Junior League service: collaboration, creativity, and a shared passion for making a difference.

Looking Ahead:

Our New Member Project continues to serve as a platform for both community impact and member development. Through EmpowHER, our new members gained valuable leadership experience, strengthened their connections within the League, and saw firsthand the power of service.

We are so proud of what this new member class accomplished and are excited to build on this success in the future. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved as we continue to empower the next generation of women leaders in our community!
