GIRLS TAKING ACTION

We exist to motivate, mentor, empower, engage and educate girls grades 6–12 to succeed in school and life.

    Empowering connections

    Our weekly program unites girls with adult role models, fellow participants and the broader community as part of a research-based curriculum.
