The Joy & Justice Tour is powered by community.
We are inviting local volunteers, businesses, colleges, community organizations, service providers, and resource partners to help us create an engaging and empowering experience for our girls and young women.
Whether you would like to volunteer your time or host an interactive resource table, we welcome your interest in joining us at an upcoming tour stop.

Unless otherwise communicated, vendors should be prepared to provide their own staff, signage, extension cords (access to power is not guaranteed), display materials, activity supplies, and any specialized equipment needed for their activation.
