2020 SHEro Awards

 Every day, there are women and girls in our community that identify a need or a problem and respond by taking action to make life better for their friends, family and neighbors. We believe that their commitment to serve others and their courage to try to make a difference deserves to be recognized.  Women & Family Life Center, Guilford Youth & Family Services, Madison Youth & Family Services, Clinton Human Services and Branford Counseling & Community Services will be recognizing these women and girls at a special awards breakfast at the Nathanael B. Greene Community Center in Guliford, CT. 

Thank you to everyone who sent in SHEro nominations for women and girls in our community. In response to the COVID-19 situation, this awards breakfast that was scheduled for April 4th has been postponed.  We will notify people by email and post an announcement on our  social media channels and website with the new start date.
