Founded by actor and writer Amy Poehler and producer Meredith Walker, the Smart Girls organization is dedicated to helping young people cultivate their authentic selves. Their motto is: “Change the World by Being Yourself.” What began as an online show for young girls has become a place for information, comedy and community. Their goal is to provide a healthy alternative to so much that is being marketed to young people on the internet: “We emphasize intelligence and imagination over ‘fitting in.’ We celebrate curiosity over gossip. We are a place where people can truly be their weird and wonderful selves.”
This event is open to the public. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
Enjoy the party!
