Inspiring Girls to Blend...OUT!
Support Girls Rule!
Recognizing that girls are inundated with subtle societal messages about their value and potential, Girls Rule!, inspires girls to define for themselves the type of young women they would like to become. We provide girls across the U.S. and abroad with life-changing experiences and real solutions to the unique issues they face. Girls Rule! provides girls with the right tools for positive decision making in a safe environment where trained professionals and mentors guide them. Girls learn to set and achieve goals, boldly confront and overcome challenges, resist peer pressure, see college as attainable, and explore a variety of career pathways.
Each donation made to Girls Rule! pays dividends in local communities in the form of:
- Enhanced leadership, technology, employment and
entrepreneurship skills
- Lowered youth truancy
- Enhanced conflict resolution skills, parent engagement opportunities
and community engagement through service projects
We also know the following outcomes to be true of the girls our programs

- 66.3% developed better conflict resolution and decision-making skills
