The 2022 Girls Run the World Committee invites girls ages 13-19 to participate in a "Long Table Talk" to get at the heart of what is important to today's teenage girls in Buffalo.

This unique discussion model provides space and structure for young people to discuss challenging topics in a safe environment. Thembi Duncan, Director of Arts Engagement and Education at Shea's Performing Arts Center, will host the conversation. There will be two long table discussions, both held at Shea's 710 Theatre, located at 710 Main Street (downtown on the corner of Tupper and Main):

Thursday, Feb 10 - 4:30-6:30 pm
Thursday, Feb 17 - 4:30-6:30 pm

Dinner will be provided at this event.
