Hello GEM SUPPORTERS:
It has been awhile but we are still here present and doing our work. We've gone through a lot of changes over the past year but we have now kicked into fundraising mode to prepare for our 2024 programming year which begins in February 2024. This means that later this year, we will announce the opening of our application process for new and returning GEMS. Look out for that email later this Fall.
Just in case, for some reason, you have forgotten who we are and the work that we do, here is a quick synopsis:
GEM CULTURE is a community-rooted non-profit youth organization based in Miramar, Broward County, Florida. Our mission is based in empowering and supporting divergent thinking and creatively gifted teenage girls in Miami-Dade and Broward County, ages 13-18, who identify as Black, Indigenous, or Persons of Color (BIPOC). Our organization aims to provide these young individuals with safe spaces and mentorship opportunities to enhance their overall well-being, foster personal growth, and ensure a successful transition into adulthood.
As we have mentioned, we are currently in fundraising mode; however, we have gotten a special opportunity to take a few of our GEMS this year, before programming starts, to Memphis, TN. Thus, we are reaching out to our community to help make this happen!
GEM CULTURE is currently fundraising to support our trip to Memphis, TN on June 8-11th, 2023 to attend the Southern Black Girls Consortium, "Black Girls Dream Conference". Our fundraiser began May 22nd, 2023 and will end on June 5th, 2023. We would greatly love and appreciate it if you would support us by purchasing Slice the Price Domino's Pizza cards from our store and by sharing the link with others using the following link:
We are thankful for the support of our community and are thankful to be able to offer this unique opportunity to our GEMS as well as the opportunity to gear up for another year in service. We invite you to learn more about GEM CULTURE and to stay current with our mission by visiting our website, joining our mailing list, reading our latest blog posts and by spreading the word about us.
