Black Girls Thrive in Community

“A WORLD WHERE BLACK GIRLS THRIVE IS A WORLD WHERE THE COMMUNITY LOVES, HONORS, AND SUPPORTS THEM.”

Our Annual Report is officially out! This year, we called on the support of our community to help us purchase and remodel our center in Chesterfield through our One Million Reasons to Build campaign. We have been blown away by the support of our community! We put our needs and intentions out into the world and the community stepped in to help in so many ways. But it wasn’t just the building campaign. For every program, event, and GFAC endeavor, there was a community partner who really stepped up to help us make a bigger impact on our girls.

Celebrating Milestones

“My time in the Girl Ambassador Program was such a beneficial learning experience. I learned a number of valuable skills and was able to apply them in internships and in my everyday life. In my eyes this program put me ahead of the curve. Each year I was placed in a new internship experience where I’ve had the opportunity to work in Fashion/Beauty, Social Media and Communications, Wellness, App Development, and Film. GAP has opened my mind to endless career opportunities. Lastly, GAP has given me a professional network that I can continue to connect with throughout my career.” - Iyanna Hardin

“During my time in the program, I have learned Microsoft skills, coding skills, and networking skills. I have grown while in Girls For A Change and feel like it prepared me more for the business world. I can apply these while in college because I will be networking with other people while getting my name out there.” – Jessica Saunders
