To truly change the lives of women and girls globally now and for generations to come, we must invest in youth development and mentor young leaders for gender equality. Zonta International believes young people are critical to achieving gender equality and ending violence against women and girls around the world.
Through the Z and Golden Z Club program, Zonta members work to bring Zonta International’s mission to students around the world and to stimulate new and meaningful student-led service and advocacy projects.
Z clubs are formed on secondary school campuses or in communities, and Golden Z clubs are formed on college and university campuses. These student clubs are designed to provide opportunities for young adults to develop communication and leadership skills, explore career alternatives, and increase their international awareness and understanding through service.
We are so excited to share this inspirational poem by one of the dedicated members of the Z Club at Golden Valley! Join us in congratulating Kayla for her amazing work!
Do Not Give Up
By Kayla Gonzalez
When things go wrong and start to sway
And things are not going your way
Do not give up
When you feel like quitting and are overflowed
with stress
And you feel as though you have made no
progress
Do not give up
Whether it is a bad grade to a frustrating job to
a financial situation
Which all cause a large amount of
discouragement and aggravation
Do not give up
An inspirational woman by the name of Eleanor
Roosevelt once stated “You must do the things
you think you cannot do.”
So try your best to not let even the hardest of
obstacles hold you back
Do Not Give Up
