 nity with Disability EmpowHer Network (DEN)!</p>\n<p>DEN is a one-of-a-kin
 d organization that strives to empower girls with disabilities through men
 toring and transformational learning experiences. They focus on providing 
 opportunities to enhance leadership skills and confidence\, while forming 
 a community and together supporting young women with disabilities to live 
 to their full potential. They believe that when disabled girls lead\, we a
 ll succeed\, which is why in 2021\, DEN started the EmpowHer Camp experien
 ce to equip teenage girls with disabilities with the tools to lead in thei
 r lives\, schools\, and communities.</p>\n<p>EmpowHer Camp is an opportuni
 ty for teenage girls with all types of disabilities between the ages of 13
  and 18 to participate in a year-long mentoring and leadership experience.
  It starts with one week of adventurous camping in the Adirondacks\, where
  campers explore nature\, make friends\, gain life skills\, and laugh arou
 nd the campfire. Young Leaders also connect with a new mentor\, who will h
 elp them set and achieve goals for the upcoming year and learn from and bo
 nd with them. After the camping trip\, with the help of their mentor\, you
 ng leaders go home and work on a yearlong project on a topic of their choi
 ce focused on emergency preparedness for people with disabilities in their
  community. This summer\, everyone reunites in Washington\, D.C. where the
 y will present their project\, discussing what they achieved in their comm
 unity with their project\, why they chose their project topic\, and what t
 hey learned throughout the year.</p>\n<p>This event will also be live-stre
