Girls in the Know works to ensure that every girl knows her self-worth and is empowered to make the right decisions for her safe and

healthy growth and development.

Knowledge is power, and the more she knows, the more a girl can confidently navigate adolescence, advocate for her needs, and share with and encourage others.

Partnering with school districts and community organizations, we empower girls with educational programs and resources, open dialogue, mentorship and continued support during their preteen and teenage years.
