It’s a lot of the tools I want to give her in life, and as a mom it’s really hard, so I appreciate that I did something right and brought her back to SPEAK*.” -Francine, parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1599509475170-QBMV4OEGEYWLVW2LKDKS/_7513387+copy.jpg Program Info - SPEAK*Girls 2019 SPEAK*Girls 2019 ran from July 8-21, 2019.

The program ran from July 10-23, 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1599509876006-LP73Q4EVASWZVUJXQNAM/speak+2018+copy.jpg Program Info - SPEAK*Girls 2018 SPEAK* Girls 2018 ran from July 9-22, 2018. The program's first year in its current rendition, six participants were welcomed to the Capital Fringe Festival stage at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church in their show titled “Almost Full: A Young Woman’s Guide to Growing Up.” DC Metro Theatre Arts says.... Far from being merely a recital from a summer retreat, "Almost Full: A Young Woman’s Guide to Growing Up" turned out to be the sort of show that leaves one happier and more hopeful than when one went in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628542462978-68KLBKK11ME7E2XW5PWI/20210723_194032.jpg Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628542053042-G1048Q0KKQF5OG86LMT1/PXL_20210724_140632212.MP.jpg Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628542236378-8R7P6AA74RYGOWW504R8/IMG_4959.jpg Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628542489222-TSQ6NLSRPB2IL38L57JM/IMG_4968.jpg Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628542698305-Y5NHBO4F2UOTD5M3Z5FO/IMG_3034.jpg Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628543178415-PXNDTHRNLSPC7HHHY2YL/IMG_4435.png Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1628543216465-UDH7Z43QBRV2JLNQE2IJ/IMG_4435.png Program Info https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5679b83e5b891978a13e36/1599509308977-ZA2BK3SI0J6M403VKHTG/Screen+Shot+2020-07-16+at+3.06.15+PM.png Program Info - SPEAK*Girls 2020 SPEAK*Girls 2020 was modified to a virtual program that ran from July 13-17, 2020.
