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.

Our long-term objective is to keep girls out of adult  prisons with early and effective intervention.  The  core objectives are: (1) to effect behavioral change in the girls that we serve, and (2) to provide a holistic continuum of care and support for them. This continuum extends from their detention through to their re-entry into the community.

Our goal is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. During our 10-week programs, the girls train for the Girls on the Run 5K run/walk while learning life skills such as healthy decision-making and teamwork. Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5K running event. Completing a 5K gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result: making the seemingly impossible, possible and teaching girls that they can.

Founded in 2013, Girls Garage is the first-ever design and building workshop for female youth in the United States. Through after-school and summer pathways, Girls Garage provides free and low-cost programs in carpentry, welding, architecture, engineering, and activist art to a diverse community of 200 girls per year. Integrating technical skills, college/career guidance, and community leadership, our programs equip girls with tools to build the world they want to see. In our workshop in Berkeley and under the guidance of our highly skilled all-female staff, we invite girls to bring their creative voice and put technical skills to work on real-world building projects that live in our community. Beyond power tools, Girls Garage is a physical space that provides a supportive and safe environment for girls to exercise voice and power. We provide 1:1 career and academic advising and workshops to develop the confidence and the communication skills to navigate the intersectional challenges facing young girls today. To date, girls have built 130 projects ranging from furniture for a domestic abuse shelter to a greenhouse for a community garden and fruit stand for an organization serving refugee families. All teen participants attend the program at no cost to their families. 66% of girls are girls of color, and 60% of girls attend Girls Garage for 3 or more years.

There are no mandated activities  research shows that the level of connection, rather than what the matches do together, is the most significant factor in positive outcomes from the match. Mentors are provided with training, support and guidance from professional agency staff to help nurture a healthy, lasting relationship between each Big and Little., , , , Some Bigs meet their Littles on the weekends. Others get together with their Littles in the evenings. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works for them.
