Rev. Karie Ann Charlton is a PCUSA pastor, writer, and menstrual health advocate. She volunteers as the USA Special Projects Coordinator for Days for Girls International, managing the PA Collection Point inventory and filling orders for menstrual product distribution.
Karie would love to talk to your employer about being a period positive workplace. She is also available to speak with volunteer organizations about period poverty and all of the ways we can advocate for access to menstrual health education and menstrual products. And if you live close to the PA Collection point, you can coordinate a visit to volunteer.
Pastor Karie is available to preach or speak about how she connects her faith to volunteering, giving, and community engagement. She is also available to lead workshops or retreats. Pastor Karie loves to work in interfaith/multi-faith spaces focusing on how we can unite for social justice and for respectful relationship.
Contact her to book a speaking engagement for any community group, school, or religious organization.
