The Foundation for Educational Opportunities, Incorporated in conjunction with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Epsilon Omicron Omega chapter in Hartford, CT presents its 11th Annual signature event, Hartford Girls Rock!. We will celebrate, inspire and honor the area’s best and brightest young ladies for their academic achievement, leadership potential and community service.
The 10 young ladies who are high school students in grades 9 through 11 were identified by Greater Hartford’s leading community-based organizations, including the Boys & Girls Club, the YWCA, the Urban League, Hartford Youth Scholars, Jack and Jill, The Legacy Foundation, and Hartford's Proud, Drill, Drum and Dance Corp. Honorees participate in our Leadership Institute, facilitated by dynamic corporate executives, entrepreneurs, TV personalities, educators, and community activists. Institute topics include educational excellence, career exploration, civic engagement, and working through obstacles to achieve personal goals.
All proceeds from Hartford Girls Rock! benefit our foundation’s scholarship programs. Over the past decade, we have awarded over $100,000 in scholarships. In fact, several of our 85 Hartford Girls Rock! honorees have been awarded our scholarships, and we continue to support their success. Join us in celebrating these dynamic young women!
