Founded by Renee Richard in 2003, Cinnamongirl gives girls transformative experiences that build courage, confidence, and character. Cinnamongirl is a leadership development organization, serving girls from all over the United States. We create lifelong bonds between professionals and girls through programs that provide access, experiences, and a global mindset. We believe that when you immerse a girl of color in a powerful network, and provide her with life-changing experiences, not only will she thrive, but she will bring others along with her. For more information, visit Cinnamongirl.org.

We empower girls to be the visionaries our world needs. We target the girl who hasn't seen the possibilities for her life just yet, and doesn't quite understand her power, voice or leadership capabilities. We surround her with other ambitious youth, hands-on mentors and high-performing female leaders, encouraging her to step out of her comfort zone knowing she has the tools to take charge of her life to become a successful leader.

Since 2011, CURYJ has been building community relationships and mobilizing young leaders to organize and create in the movement to end mass incarceration and youth criminalization. CURYJ was born when our co-founders, who lived through the impacts of systemic violence and incarceration, set out to beautify their neighborhood, engage youth in the area and coordinate pro-bono legal defense for local defendants in the Fruitvale gang injunctions. As defendants and supporters of those targeted by the gang injunction, the five co-founders became powerful advocates at the state capitol and locally, speaking on issues impacting boys and men of color. Early in the journey, CURYJ formed coalitions and partnerships to repeal Prop 21, successfully ending gang injunctions in California and initiated the Aztlán Beautification Movement (ABM) to spread culture and healing art in the streets of Oakland. What had been created went far beyond defeating the gang injunctions, and CURYJ became a family, a safe place and a platform for building community. CURYJ has created opportunities and programming for youth to build their own futures and transform community through culturally rooted healing, relationship building and systems impacted youth-led activism. Recently, CURYJ youth have galvanized people power by organizing to pass Prop 57 (Co-authored by CURYJ) which ended direct file of minors in California. CURYJ is a local member of the Justice Reinvestment Coalition of Alameda County and leads the California Alliance for Youth and Community Justice which is made up of partners from across the state uniting to stop youth incarceration. Through our youth programs, life coaching, policy organizing and restorative retreats and trainings, we are building the world we believe in, where relationships matter and young people from all backgrounds are valued and supported in community.

We teach girls to exercise the power of their voice through programs grounded in social-emotional learning. Girls Leadership centers gender and racial equity in our work to address the internal and external barriers to leadership development. There are 25 million K-12th grade girls in the United States. If you combine the efforts of all national girl-serving organizations, they collectively are only reaching about three million, or about 12% of the country’s girls, leaving a staggering 22 million girls in the US without support. Girls Leadership’s bold goal is to close that gap.
