Girls in Real Leadership Situations (GIRLS)
Girls in Real Leadership Situations (GIRLS) empowers individual girls to increase awareness and readiness to educate the community and achieve economic well-being by promoting programming that teaches and supports girls in business planning and development, in how to operate and run their own non-profit business. GIRLS seeks to engage high school girls (ages 13-18) from communities of color, poverty and low-economic and immigrant backgrounds.
