What We Do
We equip girls to reach their full potential while advocating with and for them to end inequity and discrimination.
Who We Are
We're the longest-running girls’ leadership program, evolving with girls to meet the challenges and opportunities of the day.

Our Outcomes

We help girls gain the knowledge and skills to effect positive change in 
their lives. They become leaders who will change the world.

Our programming – in partnership with schools and at our centers – focuses on the development of the whole girl. A combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment and research-based programming equips girls to lead fulfilling and productive lives, break the cycle of poverty and become role models in their community.
