Girls Leadership equips girls with the skills to exercise the power of their voice.We work with girls, parents and caregivers, and educators to ensure lasting impact. Co-founded by educator and social entrepreneur Simone Marean and bestselling author and educator Rachel Simmons, we are a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing transformational programs to girls, their parents, and their educational communities.At Girls Leadership, we offer camps and workshops designed to teach girls, educators, and parents the core practices of emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and assertive self-expression. Taught by professional, salaried instructors, all of our programs use interactive lessons and theatre-based techniques to help girls connect with their emotions and practice the tools of building healthy, authentic relationships. The courses are age-appropriate and progressive, following girls' developmental needs from grade school through high school.Our principal focus is girls' "internal" leadership skills, which include:- Recognizing and building healthy relationships- Identifying, expressing and respecting emotions- Owning mistakes- Accepting constructive criticism- Approaching conflict as an opportunity for changeWe structure our work around five central values:- Inclusivity- Authenticity- Integrity- Quality- Fun!If you are interested in working for Girls Leadership, volunteering at one of our programs, learning about our board members, or just want to learn more about our transformational programs, please check out our website girlsleadrership.org
