Thank you Unrivaled Group!

On MLK Day 2023, Unrivaled Group joined us at the Girlstart Austin office to help with outdoor cleanup. Volunteers helped to clean and organize two of Girlstart’s outside storage sheds, power washed our picnic tables, and prepped materials for our upcoming Community STEM events. Our outside space looks incredible thanks to the laborious efforts of the Unrivaled Group volunteers.

We want to thank you for all of your support, and in the spirit of a servant leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., ask you to reflect on his wise words, “Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve”.
