Who We AreAlliance for Girls is the largest regional alliance of girl-serving organizations and leaders in the country. Our membership includes 100+ organizations that employ 2,400 people with more than 5,100 volunteers serving more than 300,000 girls across six Bay Area counties.*"Girls"​ refers to gender expansive youth (cis girls, trans girls, non-binary youth, gender non-conforming youth, gender queer youth and any girl-identified youth). Why We ExistGirls' champions (this includes girls' advocates, educators and guardians) play a critical role in the daily lives of girls and young women by providing vital input that amplify strengths and respond to unique needs, from leadership development to health services. Yet no single entity or person can holistically meet the needs of every girl, nor can they solve the larger systems of inequities, in a context where the scale and complexity of achieving equity has thwarted efforts for decades.Alliance for Girls is transforming the girls' service sector from one of mostly- siloed entities, to a collaborative and innovative network with the necessary complexity and collective power to uplift girls and eliminate systemic barriers to their success. Our MissionAlliance for Girls mobilizes girls' champions to address barriers facing girls, create conditions for their success, and advance systemic change to achieve equity.Our VisionTo advance equitable communities where every girl thrives.#RaiseYourVoice4Girls
