Empowering the Next Generation of Female Leaders
Becoming Her: Confidence Addition
On June 13, 2026, ElevateHER Network celebrated our Grand Opening with Becoming HER: Confidence Edition, welcoming 56 girls ages 6–18 for a day focused on confidence, self-worth, and empowerment. Through interactive activities and meaningful connections, girls were encouraged to embrace their strengths and recognize their potential. This event marked the beginning of our mission to create a community where every girl feels seen, supported, and empowered to learn, lead, and thrive.
ElevateHER Closet: More Than Clothes
On August 22, 2026, ElevateHER Network opened the doors to the ElevateHER Closet, serving more than 60 girls through clothing, shoes, school supplies, hair services, and nails. But this day was about more than what the girls received. It was about how they felt.
Our community came together to remind every girl who walked through our doors that she deserves to feel confident, cared for, supported, and prepared. The ElevateHER Closet is not a one-day event. Our goal is to keep it stocked year-round with clothing, shoes, feminine products, school supplies, and other essentials for girls who need them. Built by our Dubuque community. Created for HER.
At ElevateHER Network, we believe every girl possesses the potential to lead with courage and purpose. Our organization is dedicated to dismantling barriers and creating pathways for young women through comprehensive mentorship, leadership training, and academic support. By providing a culturally affirming environment and a strong sisterhood, we foster the confidence needed for girls to become change-makers in their own communities.
Loving Me Loudly — Body Positivity & Self-Defense
On July 18, 2026, ElevateHER Network hosted Loving Me Loudly, welcoming 50 girls ages 6–18 for a day centered on body positivity, self-love, confidence, and self-defense. Through engaging discussions and interactive activities, girls learned the importance of embracing who they are, building confidence from within, using their voices, setting healthy boundaries, and protecting themselves. The experience encouraged every girl to recognize her worth and walk boldly in who she is.
