RESOURCE GUIDES

There’s a lot of fear and uncertainty right now, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Together, we have power — the power of knowledge, the power of coming together, and the power to act.

The following resource guides are intended to support California youth and the organizations that support them. The guides were curated by Alliance for Girls and its member organizations to meet this moment.

To add resources, suggest a guide topic, or if you have questions or comments, please e-mail: resources@alliance4girls.org

To post these resource guides on your organization’s social media account, you can use these images. When posting these resource guides, please tag @alliance4girls for more reach.

Here are important resources — across all topics — to check regularly during this turbulent time:

THIS INTERACTIVE DIRECTORY IS

comprised of some organizations

that provide programming and/or services for girls and/or gender expansive youth in California, with a focus on the Bay Area and Los Angeles County.

Please note that the following is not a comprehensive directory of all girl and/or gender-expansive youth-serving organizations in California. In order to be included on AFG’s Girls Resource Hub, an organization must complete this form sharing the name of their organization, the ages of girls and/or gender-expansive youth they serve, the cost of their services, their contact information and website, and a brief description of the services that they provide to girls and/or gender-expansive youth.

AFG encourages all users to do more research about the organizations on this list if they are interested in accessing their services and/or programming to ensure it is a good fit for them. The list is intended only as a resource and inclusion on the list does not indicate endorsement of the organization by AFG’s Girls Resources Hub.

    MISSSEY works to prevent girls and gender-expansive youth from ever entering circumstances of sexual exploitation and violence. We also support young people who are experiencing exploitation to exit. Once they’ve exited, we partner with youth so that they may avoid re-entering sexually exploitative circumstances and live free of harmful transactional relationships.
