With the belief that young people play a crucial role to achieving gender equality and ending gender-based violence, Zonta International has partnered with Canyon High School in a global fight for equality. 

Zonta Clubs are traditionally formed on secondary school campuses and in communities to provide opportunities for young people to cultivate their communication, awareness and leadership skills, with Canyon High School officially joining the roster. 

“To improve 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,” read a statement from Zonta International.

“These young people are important to achieving gender equality and ending violence against women and girls around the world,” read a statement from Zonta International. “Through the Z Club Program, Zontians work to bring Zonta International’s mission to empower women through service and advocacy to students around the world and to stimulate new and meaningful student-led service and advocacy projects.”
