Julia Landauer and GFC Partner! -

19-Year Old Professional NASCAR driver reaches out
to inspire girls with her message of encouragement
and empowerment for all young women.
San Jose, Calif. – 19-year old NASCAR
Driver and Stanford University Sophomore Julia
Landauer and her racing team have joined with Girls
For A Change in a partnership that seeks to inspire
girls everywhere to reach beyond their potential
and seek out opportunities to take on
non-traditional challenges.
Girls For A Change™ is a national
non-profit organization that empowers girls to
create social change. They invite young women to
design, lead, fund and implement social change
projects that tackle issues girls face in their own
neighborhoods. Completely community supported, GFC
provides the tools, resources, partnerships and
support girls need to gain the voice, ability, and
problem-solving capacity to realize their full
potential.
“Girls For A Change (GFC) is honored to
partner with Julia because she inspires young
people. Julia demonstrates the ‘drive’ to
live out a childhood dream while keeping grounded
with education and family. She breaks stereotypes
and provides a great role model to all girls. Being
a part of GFC has mutual benefits for coaches and
young ladies. We inspire and give energy to one
another by learning to be good listeners and
respecting one another. As a result we can
brainstorm and implement ideas of change that have
positive effects on communities,” says Whitney
Smith, Founder and CEO of Girls For A Change.
The partnership with GFC and Landauer gives the
NASCAR rising star an opportunity to realize her
goal of working with a group committed to
transforming our world and reinventing girl
culture. “As a girl-power advocate in the
broadest sense, I’m thrilled to be
involved,” says Landauer. “Working with
an organization like GFC has been a dream of mine
for several years. Their mission is the empowerment
of middle and high school girls to create and lead
social change in their communities. I look forward
to introducing these ladies to the power of hard
work and going after your dreams, regardless of
stereotypes or challenges.”
