Bozeman Daily Chronicle: Be true and be brave, Annual conference aims to empower high school girls

There is no blueprint for success, Sarah Calhoun told a group of high school girls on Saturday.

“None of us really know what we’re doing,” the Red Ants Pants founder told the crowd.

But there are some things these girls can do to become successful. Be self reliant, but also don’t be afraid of asking for help. Step outside your comfort zone and gain a little perspective. Find the right balance.

Be true and be brave.

That was the message Calhoun delivered as part of her keynote presentation at the annual Girls for a Change conference, hosted by Thrive.

More than 150 high school girls from 32 communities across the state gathered at the Strand Union Building on the Montana State University campus for a day of workshops aimed at empowering the young girls.
