Our mission is: To build girls' capacity for responsible and confident adulthood, economic independence and personal fulfillment.

We offer programs for girl ages 6-18. Programs are divided into age-appropriate groups and provide girls the opportunity to take risks, build their skills in science, math and technology, ask questions, make new friends and prepare for their future. Six categories form the foundation of our programs: Careers and Life Planning, Health and Sexuality, Leadership and Community Action, Culture and Heritage, Self Reliance and Life Skills, sports and Adventure.
