In a continuing series of profiles, Soroptimist International of Carson City welcomes the community join us in congratulating 2021 “Women Helping Women” honoree Katie Leao Geiser, who is among eight Carson City area women to be honored at our Feb. 18 virtual event.
Katie has been the Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada since 2015. During this time, the number of students at the Club has doubled to nearly 500 per day, of which 50 percent are girls. Katie’s efforts to provide empowering programs for girls has allowed them to explore new activities and gain confidence.
Through the SMART Girls program, K-12 students engage with potential careers in the fields of STEM. The Healthy Habits program encourages girls to enjoy physical fitness that promotes healthy lifestyles.
And the Teen and Tween Girls Group focuses on responsible social media usage, peer mentorship, positive body image and self-esteem building. Thank you, Katie for creating such a welcoming, supportive, enriching, and fun environment for the girls in our community who visit the Club.
Lumos & Associates is proud to sponsor Katie as a “Women Helping Women” Honoree and share her outstanding efforts in making the Club a home away from home and safe place for young girls to learn, grow and build a foundation for success.
