S.H.E. COUNTS
The mission of the S.H.E. Counts program is to support, help, and empower women and girls in Poweshiek County. Created in 2013, S.H.E. Counts has helped hundreds of individuals.
S.H.E. Counts is headed by a diverse group of women within the county who are committed to helping move women and girls towards self-reliance. Your donation will help to support under-funded programs and efforts.
Specific Goals of S.H.E. Counts includes:
1. Annually support a local graduating female senior with a scholarship for post-secondary education
2. Annually support and promote awareness for International Women’s Day on March 8th
3. Support 4th and 5th grade girls with after school educational math programming
4. Provide financial educational opportunities for women in our county
