The Girl’s Guide to Homelessness


Five Cheers for Five Years!
Picnic with GTT & support your homeless neighbors
This Saturday, October 15. Noon to 4 p.m.
Park Blvd. & Presidents Way Lawn, south end of Balboa Park, San Diego

Can't join us for the picnic? Why not donate your $15 lunch money directly to our programs: www.girlsthinktank.org/getinvolved

Celebrate 5 years of advocacy and activism in San Diego with Girls Think Tank and guest speaker Brianna Karp, renowned author of “The Girl’s Guide to Homelessness,” who went from living jobless and homeless to blogging for Elle Magazine. She'll share her fascinating story, with insights on core issues facing those surviving on the streets.

Join us in beautiful Balboa Park to enjoy this and more, including:
  • Live music by talented local musicians, headlined by the wonderful Corina Rose.
  • The provocative (In)Visible Project: A multi-media portrait of San Diego's homeless population, launched at this year's San Diego Contemporary Art Fair.
  • Speakers advocating for the homeless.
  • Children's activities with arts and crafts for all ages
  • Voter registration and display booths from some of our non-profit collaborators.
Give-One-Get-One Tickets
$15 buys lunch for you and someone experiencing homelessness. BEST VALUE: The Family & Friends Pack gets you lunch for four plus four additional lunches for homeless neighbors for only $50. Proceeds will support Girls Think Tank's Basic Dignity programs, including GTT's NEW free legal clinic for the homeless.

There are many other ways to help too! Bring a picnic blanket to donate when you’re done. Purchase a $25 membership and receive a GTT water bottle as our thank-you. Sponsor a backpack, buy a T-shirt or make a sustaining pledge to help your community.
