The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead
This October, Girl Scouts of WNY is proud to celebrate International Day of the Girl with two weeks of empowering, open-to-the-public events for girls of all ages! Whether you’re already a Girl Scout or brand new, you’re invited to join us for hands-on adventures, creative workshops, and inspiring celebrations.
Participate in our annual Join-a-Thon on Wednesday, October 8! This is the perfect day to get started with Girl Scouts culminating with a Gabby's Dollhouse Dance Party at our Buffalo and Rochester, NY locations.
On Saturday, October 11, we’ll honor International Day of the Girl with a special community event at Stitch Buffalo — a chance to participate in a community art project while celebrating girls’ voices and leadership in action.
Our programming then continues and culminates with Reaching New Heights on Saturday, October 18 — a day of exploration, growth, and empowerment.

About International Day of the Girl
On December 19, 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world. Girls around the world continue to face unprecedented challenges to their education, physical and mental wellness, and the protections needed for a life without violence. COVID-19 has exacerbated existing burdens on girls and worn away important gains made over the last decade. With adversity, however, comes resourcefulness, creativity, tenacity, and resilience. The world's 600 million adolescent girls have shown time and time again that given the skills and the opportunities, they can be the change makers driving progress in their communities, building them back stronger for all, including men, women, and boys.
