Strong girls become strong women.

Girl with Grit Program partners girls with skilled, independent women as mentors and teachers. We provide opportunities that we feel are often overlooked for girls, along with some things that are strictly fun. 

Our Program has various modules our girls learn. It also relies heavily on community interaction and female mentors. Are you interested in teaching our girls a skill? Please apply now.
