G.I.R.L. (Girls In Revolutionary Leadership) Club is a women empowerment group where we instill leadership, sisterhood, and service in our members. We work hard to educate our young ladies on matters affecting women everywhere. This involves women's health, women's safety, entrepreneurship, financial planning, mental health, and healthy relationships. Whether in open discussion or through a guest speaker, we like to have candid conversations about the obstacles women face in these areas, but most importantly, how to overcome them. We also give our girls the opportunity to connect with female community leaders. Fostering these connections puts our young women in the position to explore different career paths, participate in service projects, and give them options for potential jobs, intern opportunities, and mentorship that will carry them beyond high school. We want our girls to walk away feeling educated, empowered, and capable of taking their space in the world. We also want them to have an undeniable desire to uplift other women.
