A year of incredible growth

This year at Girls For A Change has been one of profound growth, celebration, and meaningful impact. Together, our team has achieved remarkable milestones, including the success of Daughters ([link removed]) on Netflix, the launch of our Impact Campaign, and the incredible honor of our CEO, Sistah Angela, winning Best New Director from the Critics’ Choice Awards ([link removed]) alongside
Co-Director Natalie Rae.

We also raised over $50,000 for our college scholarship fund for senior participants, reimagined school partnerships, and strengthened our curriculum models to better co-create with Black girls. Additionally, we formed a new partnership with schools to support research initiatives and develop innovative programming approaches. Our collaboration with Simpson Street ([link removed]) will help us scale our impact and expand our presence, ensuring that we continue to meet the needs of Black girls and their communities.

Furthermore, we received transformative support through the Bank of America Neighborhood Builders grant ([link removed]) , which has helped us expand leadership staff and brings us closer to building a new space for our participants as we continue to outgrow our current home. Each of these accomplishments reflects our 20-year commitment to expanding access and creating opportunities for Black girls, empowering them to thrive and lead.


** Now is the time to reflect on what can be celebrated….
------------------------------------------------------------

…. And to acknowledge the work to be done to keep moving forward.


As we reflect on the journey we have taken this year, we are filled with gratitude for the support of our community and inspired by the possibilities that lie ahead. The work we do is a testament to the resilience, brilliance, and vision of the girls we support, and we are excited to continue building pathways for their success.

Let us step into the new year with renewed purpose, hope, and a shared commitment to creating a brighter future together. Are you with us? Make your commitment to the continued success and sustainability of preparing Black girls for the world and the world for Black girls.
