Ellen Davis ’13 named Partner of the Month of United Way Women’s Initiative

Ellen Davis ’13 has been named Partner of the Month of the Woman’s Initiative of the United Way.

In the most recent issue of the Women’s Initiative Connects newsletter, Davis said:

“As a mentor for the All Kinds of Girls Program (AKOG) and as a member of Women’s Initiative, I have been given the opportunity and tools to create lasting bonds with a diverse group of young women, who I otherwise would not have known. Aside from being personally rewarding, through my experience I feel confident that I have been able to positively impact girls from the community with the work the program does each Saturday. Whether we are discussing bullying or the media, AKOG allows us to examine ourselves and the world we live in to work to create a more empowered and less violent world. The thing that I appreciate most about AKOG is that, although I am the one serving as a mentor, I manage to learn something new from the girls each and every week. My experience has been invaluable and is something that I will carry with me long after I have graduated from Clark and the AKOG Program.”
