Over the past decade, @marinteengirlconference has grown into a leading model for youth empowerment and civic engagement in Marin:

👯‍♀️3,500+ attendees — Teen girls from public, private, and alternative schools across Marin County.
👩🏽‍💻150+ Teen Ambassadors — Trained in leadership, event planning, and advocacy.
👩🏽‍🎓120+ workshops and panels — Covering mental health, body image, leadership, career readiness, healthy relationships, and civic engagement.
👩🏻‍🔧200+ professional women — Speakers, panelists, and mentors offering role modeling and real-world insights.
🗣️30+ community organizations annually — Providing resources and information on health, wellness, college access, and support services.

The Marin Teen Girls Conference will be on hiatus in 2026. Rising costs to host the event and difficulty in fundraising make it necessary to pause the conference next year. Since its launch in 2011, the Marin Teen Girls Conference has empowered thousands of young women with workshops, leadership opportunities, and connections that will last a lifetime. The conference has been a cornerstone of our work, and we are deeply proud of the creativity, confidence, and community it has fostered.

Leadership Opportunities for Teens

Once again, we will listen closely to the voices of women and girls across the county to ensure their needs and concerns guide our advocacy and recommendations.

Dear Friend of the Commission:

Are you a former Commissioner? Have you partnered with us on an event or project? You’re invited to celebrate a milestone in Marin County—50 years of advocacy, service, and progress with the Marin Women’s Commission. This event will honor the extraordinary work of the Commission! We’ll be serving charcuterie boards, treats and coffee.

We’ve invited Katy McKnight, Sr. Dir. of Community Engagement @ SF-Marin Food Bank to be our speaker. We believe that empowering our community begins with ensuring everyone has access to basic needs—starting with food. To mark our 50th, we’d like to raise at least $1,974 for SFMFB, please join us by making a financial donation here, or using the QR code above.

We look forward to seeing you. RSVP in the link in bio!
