EmpowerHer: Women's Self Defense Workshop & Fundraiser

EmpowerHer Women's Self-Defense Seminar & Fundraiser

Join us at Epiphany School for an inspiring women’s self-defense seminar led by our head women's coach and girls from Level Ground’s Student Trainer Program. Participants will learn practical movements to defend themselves in a variety of scenarios while connecting with a supportive community of women. After class, enjoy refreshments and conversation.

This special fundraiser benefits girls at Level Ground. Proceeds directly support opportunities to cultivate skills for them to lead on the mat, in the classroom, in the workplace, and in their communities. Don’t miss this chance to feel stronger, be empowered, and give back!

Can't attend but want to support our girls? You can donate here or select a donation option in the Ticket Section!

LG Girls have had the opportunity to train their peers, community adults, and most recently, Mayor Michelle Wu!

In Summer 2025, 50 Student Trainers - which included the largest number of girls to date - advanced through 160 hours of intensive programming at Level Ground. This year’s highlights included:
✨ A kickoff visit from Mayor Michelle Wu and Councilman John FitzGerald
🥋 A seminar led by 26-time UFC veteran Joe Lauzon
🎉 Our Student Showcase, where youth demonstrated their skills as entrepreneurs, martial arts instructors, and personal trainers
Throughout the summer, Student Trainers participated in daily modules focused on:

-Academic Learning — with a focus on business, math, and ELA
