Now more than ever, the girls we serve need access to positive mentoring relationships as well as content and activities that build confidence and resilience, establish healthy habits, and help alleviate stress and anxiety that young people face. Our programs ignite confidence within young girls, encouraging them to embrace their individuality, unleash boundless potential, and fearlessly chase their dreams.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to provide access to all girls, regardless of their family's ability to pay. Annually, we provide full scholarships to 68% of our participants. 

Let's continue to drive the cause together!
