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.

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.

We have been fortunate to spend our time with a widely diverse group of people for more than two decades. Our work is informed by every one of the precious souls who has honored us by sharing their unique body experience. We have made a commitment to honestly telling our own stories, and offering space for others to do the same without fear of judgment, comparison, or criticism. It is in this type of environment that each one of us can find what we need to become embodied: to tell our own truth and step fully into—and love—our unique selves.

    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.
