Girls for Christ Empowerment Conference Makes a Triumphant Return After Two Decades

The Girls for Christ Empowerment Conference, founded by Roberta Thorpe, makes its much-anticipated return after two decades. Thorpe, the founder and director as well as a Mount Carmel church member, conceived the annual event in 2000 through divine inspiration, aiming to uplift young women to become influential role models in their families and communities. The conference ran continuously from 2001 to 2006 until Thorpe’s relocation to California.Upon her return to Indianapolis, former attendees and parents urged her to revive the program, highlighting its profound impact. The conference is scheduled for November and promises to equip girls aged 8-18 with essential life skills through seminars, interactive activities, and mentorship. Thorpe emphasizes the significance of fostering a connection with God as foundational to achieving true success. The program aims to address contemporary challenges girls face, offering discussions on various topics including public speaking, character education, and more. Registration is $200 and includes meals, activities, and accommodations for the weekend. Interested participants can contact Thorpe via email.
