Thanks to everyone who attended She All That! 2012. We look forward to seeing you next year!

If you'd like to be a She's All That! 2013 sponsor, lead a workshop or volunteer during the day, please send us an email.

She’s All That! is an exciting and distinctive conference that past participants have said should be mandatory for all middle-school aged girls. "I think it's great that the girls are getting this attention and information - that there are people in the community who care enough about the girls to do this for them" was the feedback from one parent last year. Another mentioned that she and her daughter waited a year to participate and it was "everything I could have hoped for."

This special conference includes an inspirational keynote presentation and a choice of three of the available workshops (listed below) for girls. Our popular “Live Your Dream!” Expo will include numerous informational exhibits again this year. The adult workshops have been expanded and new ones are being offered.

Pre-registration is required.  Registration fee is $30 through 1/15/2012 and $35 thereafter.

2012 Girls Keynote Speaker: Lauren Lindberg
Lauren was born in Walnut Creek, California and began filming when she was just 9 years old, making movies with friends and the family video camera. She took one year of a film production class in high school, but when the class was canceled due to the California Budget situation, she sought out Bay Area Video Coalition's Factory Youth Program in Oakland, California. It was there that she discovered a passion for telling others' stories, through documentary film making.

Lauren Lindberg is a documentary filmmaker whose films have screened in 17 national and international film festivals, including the San Francisco Film Festival, Los Angeles Film Festival, Paley Docujam, Cineyouth Film Festival, National Film Festival for Talented Youth, as well as in an exhibition at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. Her awards include: Best Editing, Best Documentary, Best Youth Film and Audience Choice Award.

Through film, she is able to combine her lifelong love for volunteerism and helping others, through her passion for film. Several of her projects include: Independence in Sight (a film about blind teens seeking to live independently), That's all we Know (a music video about youth violence in Oakland), a Truancy PSA for the San Francisco YMCA's Tarc program, Advice for the Gulf, a documentary about the Exxon Valdez Oil spill and its aftereffects 20 years later, and The Power of Youth, about youth volunteerism. Projects in 2011 include a documentary about teen suicide, and next up is a film about body-image.

Lauren was recently chosen as one of five teens, out of 35,000 from across the country, as a Seventeen Magazine "Pretty Amazing" teen (she is featured in the October 2011 issue). She is also a member of the InspireUSA National Youth Council, and has been recently profiled on CBS News as the recipient of a Bay Area Jefferson Award for Public Service.

Lauren will attend Chapman University in Orange, California in the fall, and will study Documentary Film as a freshman. Her dream is to start a production company called "Voices to be Heard," in which she tells the stories of those who are without a voice to tell their own.
