About this Event

Generation WOW is a truly magical day where girls and women connect to inspire, educate and motivate each other. At Generation WOW, girls are exposed to the positive and the possible by meeting women who are already leaders in their communities, homes, and workplaces.

WOW features inspiring speakers, interactive activities, and relevant topics. Exposure to diverse career pathways, leadership development, mentorship, healthy living, goal-setting, and decision-making are just a few of the topics of this impactful event. The goal of Generation WOW events is to provide a trusted and inspiring experience that will forge relationships, inspire dreams, and deliver results that enhance young girl's lives. 

***Important Information: We are thrilled about the overwhelming excitement we've received from our community of girls wanting to attend Generation WOW. Our goal is to ensure WOW is an inspiring and connecting experience for both mentors and mentees. That's why we have implemented a registration deadline and customized codes for this year. By securing your spots by the deadline, you are helping us best plan for mentor/mentee connections, lunch, and overall quality of experience.  

School codes are distributed through a designated faculty member. If you haven't received your customized school code or aren't sure who your faculty member is, please contact Tiffany Walter at [email protected] or 904-372-4859 and she will help you with next steps. 

If you have your code, great news! Continue below to register as a Generation WOW mentee (girls) or chaperone (school staff member). *Please note there are separate codes for both mentees and chaperones.*
