On Saturday January 15, America’s Next Top Model judge, Nigel Barker, Grammy Award Winner Estelle and the First Lady’s Chief of Staff, Tina Tchen are joining hundreds of local DC teens at a Girl Up pep rally showing support for girls around the world.

Girl Up is a “for girls, by girls” campaign by the United Nations Foundation that mobilizes American girls and boys to raise awareness and funds for United Nations programs that provide girls in developing countries with life-changing opportunities, like the ability to go to school, see a doctor, or access clean water in their communities and stay safe from violence.

The Pep Rally which will be held at the Boys and Girls Club in DC is an interactive forum where teens will discover the issues their peers in Malawi, Liberia, Ethiopia, and Guatemala face every day and have the opportunity to take action.

Come on out and show your support for teen girls all around the world!
