EmpowHERing young queens to slay and shatter systemic barriers

Who we are

EmpowHERto was founded in Toronto, Canada, in 2017, with a mission to support minority girls in the downtown core. In July 2020, we expanded to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a focus on underserved Latina and Black communities in Districts 2, 3, and 4.

As a diverse, women-led organization, our goal is to positively impact over 1,000 girls across both locations by 2025. Through bi-weekly events and quarterly programs, we empower young women with valuable knowledge and skills in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, mental health, leadership, and mentorship—creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
