ABOUT GIRLS GROUP
Girls Group is a nonprofit mentoring agency with a vision to end generational poverty by helping economically disadvantaged young women achieve self-sufficiency. The ultimate ambition is that each young woman finds their voice, defines their goals and dreams, and moves forward in the world with pride and self-confidence. Services establish long-term and supportive mentoring relationships, which span middle school, high school, and continue through a young woman's college and/or career journey.
Girls Group provides year-round comprehensive programming that uses a strengths-based approach to college and career readiness, focusing on four primary themes: Academic Readiness, Social-Emotional Readiness, Financial Empowerment, and Community Service Learning. This presentation will highlight how Girls Group's 20+ year history and commitment to the agency's mission, vision, and core values changes the trajectory of a student’s life and positively impacts future generations.
