I Matter 2025: Strong Voices, Strong Girls
Relationships, “drama,” stress and pressure are among the biggest challenges facing girls in grades 5-12.

- Now in its 14th year as a staple event in Central Ohio, I Matter is a free, annual community conference that gives girls in grades 6-12 the skills they need to engage in healthy relationships and provides their mothers and mother figures with the tools and strategies necessary to support them.
- Guests will also receive free parking, event swag, refreshments, and exclusive giveaways. Free registration closes 2/12 - sign-up today!
