Why We're Making A Difference:
Long Term
Relationships
When girls are nominated into our program as rising 5th graders, they remain with their small group for the next EIGHT YEARS. No matter where they go or how their lives change.
Multi-Layered
Mentoring
We show girls what it means to be supported and supportive via our big/little sister program, high school youth representatives, and college/professional women from our community.
Intentional Multi-Faceted Connection
Girls in a StrongHER TogetHER group come from different schools, neighborhoods, backgrounds, cultures, and socioeconomics. This mix is 100% intentional.
Elimination of Barriers to Participation
Not only is StrongHER TogetHER FREE for all participants, but we also simplify transportation, communications, and administration so that each child can participate to the fullest.
What People Are Saying:
