Since 1964, we have empowered more than 30,000 girls to realize their potential as fearless, goal-oriented young women. Trained staff and volunteers build lasting, mentoring relationships in girls-only spaces that are physically and emotionally safe where girls find a sisterhood of support with shared drive, mutual respect, and high expectations. Our programs inspire girls to grow and develop skills in science, math, technology, personal development, financial literacy, life skills, physical activity, and the arts—and to build successful frameworks for their futures.
