Girls to Women partners with Mid-Peninsula families, other local youth development agencies, and local schools to provide year-round programming which supports the healthy development of 75 low-income girls and young women ages 6 to 25. At the core of our youth development approach is respect for the abilities, knowledge and potential of each girl we serve.
Our girls thrive among the positive, culturally-reflective female role models they meet through Girls to Women. With an approach which sees the girls' unique attributes and 'herstories' as cues to help us best serve them and their families.
Leveraging our community's array of existing resources, we work collaboratively to brung together the facilities, personnel, and infrastructure to provide excellent programming within reach for the girls of East Palo Alto and Menlo Park.
