She’s the First is coming to Suffolk, and we need your help! I am trying to start a chapter here at Suffolk to support the She’s the First corporation. We will hold fundraisers and promote awareness of the program throughout each semester. If you’re looking for an opportunity to get involved on campus, and/or help those who need it, please don’t hesitate to get involved. The program not only helps others, but also helps you to build leadership skills necessary for your future. You can make a difference! We need to build a team of members, and I’m asking you, HerCampus Suffolk readers to help me out and become members of my team, so Suffolk can add to the mission of She’s the First. With your help, these girls in developing countries will be able to get the education they need to succeed, so please contact me if you are interested in starting a team with me, and we can make this happen!
 
Mission: “She’s the First is a not-for-profit that sponsors girls’ education in the developing world, helping them be the first in their families to graduate. In the process, She’s the First fosters leadership and self-awareness in young Americans, by inspiring them to lead creative fundraisers and correspond with sponsored students. Our efforts shape a rising generation of well-educated global leaders, future philanthropists, and cross-cultural communicators.”
