WHY IT MATTERS

When girls are encouraged to lead, they grow up to be a force for positive change. Studies show that girls who participate in girl-focused leadership development programs are better equipped to achieve their career and altruistic ambitions.

For many girls in Washington, however, there are no opportunities to participate in girl-focused leadership programs. There are fewer than 50 girl-focused leadership programs in our state, and the majority are in Seattle-King County. Many of these girl-serving organizations lack resources, training, and support to offer quality programs.

OUR APPROACH

To support girls in becoming confident leaders, we are working with 14 girl-serving organizations to develop a statewide network of high-quality leadership development programs. Together, we are focusing on three key areas to ensure girl-serving organizations have the tools and support they need to set girls up for success. These include:

  • Quality Training & Program Assessment
  • Executive Leadership Development
  • Capacity Building Investments

The GLOW (Girls’ Leadership Organizations of Washington) network is ensuring Washington’s girl-serving organizations reach more girls with quality programming than ever before.
