What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There are 25 million K-12th grade girls in the United States. If you combine the efforts of all national girl-serving organizations, we are only reaching about three million, or about 12% of girls. That means 22 million girls in the US aren’t being reached. Girls Leadership’s bold goal is to close that gap. Girls Leadership is collaborating with other organizations to elevate the girl-serving field, deepen our knowledge, and broaden our reach so that every single one of those 25 million girls has the awareness, skills and confidence to live as everyday leaders.

Girls’ Programs

Our girls programs provide opportunities for girls to meet other girls, have fun, get creative., and exercise the power of their voice. We currently offer direct service programs to girls’ in grades 5-8 and 9-12. These programs include:

Power Labs -: Partnerships with schools where girls and Girls Leadership staff co-design curriculum, activities, and pedagogical approaches that center the needs of the most marginalized girls. What we learn from the girls is turned into lesson plans, curriculum, and training for all the teachers addressing social and emotional learning in the school.

Empower Club - A welcoming community where girls can have fun, learn leadership skills, and connect with peers across the country to exercise the power of their voice.

Girl Advisory Board - Girls use skills, leadership ability, and empowered minds acquired from Girls Leadership to inspire the next generation of Girls Leadership participan

Our professional development trainings provide spaces and opportunities for K-12 and youth service professionals to connect and collaborate in learning.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

1) Girls Leadership works not only with girls, but also with their primary influencers – parents, teachers, and caregivers – to create sustainable impact. Studies show parents and teachers to be the most powerful teachers for girls all the way through high school.

2) We put social and emotional learning (SEL) at the foundation of all our leadership development.

3) We see girls’ real-life, every-day relationships with friends and family as the primary opportunity we have to teach girls the leadership skills that will serve them over a life-time: self-advocacy, negotiation, compromise, personal responsibility and conflict as an opportunity for change.
