The Zonta Club of Jamestown recently presented a donation to ARISE Chautauqua, an organization dedicated to empowering girls ages 11-18 to embrace their potential and pursue a bright future.

At ARISE Chautauqua, the mission is to create supportive spaces where every girl feels equipped, encouraged and confident in her ability to live a healthy and authentic life no matter her background or story. Through programs such as Arise Circles, Life Skills classes, and Arise Celebrations, as well as practical resources like The Arise Closet, the organization provides connection, mentorship, and hands-on support to help girls grow into strong, resilient leaders.
