Organizations Filed Purposes: Girls Leaderships vision is a society where girls embrace the power of their voice to shape the world.

Girls Leadership equips girls with the skills to exercise the power of their voice.

GIRLS LEADERSHIP WORKS WITH GIRLS, PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, AND EDUCATORS TO ENSURE LASTING IMPACT. STUDIES SHOW PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO BE THE MOST POWERFUL INFLUENCERS FOR GIRLS ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.GIRLS LEADERSHIP PUTS SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) AT THE FOUNDATION OF ALL OUR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. A GIRLS ABILITY TO KNOW AND RESPECT HER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS IS THE FOUNDATION OF HER INFLUENCE IN EVERY ARENA OF HER LIFE. GIRLS LEADERSHIP SEES GIRLS REAL-LIFE, EVERY-DAY RELATIONSHIPS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AS HER PRIMARY OPPORTUNITY TO CULTIVATE THE LEADERSHIP AND INFLUENCE SKILLS THAT WILL SERVE HER OVER A LIFETIME. THE SKILLS INCLUDE SELF-ADVOCACY, NEGOTIATION, COMPROMISE, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CONFLICT AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE.

We teach in-person programs across the US, produce free educational content and conduct original research, such as our upcoming project, Closing the Gap: Understanding How Girls of Color Become Leaders. Our in-person programs teach girls, educators, and parents the core practices of emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and assertive self-expression. Taught by professional, salaried instructors, all Girls Leadership programs use interactive lessons and educational theatre-based techniques to help girls connect with their emotions and practice the tools of building healthy, authentic relationships. The courses are age-appropriate and progressive, following girls developmental needs from grade school through high school.

Our current focus is to expand our impact across differences of geography, race, culture, and income level. To do this we are integrating intersectional identity and social justice into all of our content. Through increased partnerships we are able to create fully sponsored programs, and train program staff in schools and community-based organizations serving low-income communities. We are making changes at every level of the organization to ensure that power the power of voice is never a privilege.
