tomorrow’s leaders. Through activities that build self-

develop real-world leadership abilities that will last them a
lifetime. By working towards such earned age-level awards, girls
can interview female leaders, set goals, and learn to trust
themselves in any situation. Our Financial Literacy program
helps girls set financial goals and gain the confidence they
