What is
LEAD?
Fast Launch
Great Ideas
Multiple Colors
Modular System
Save Money
Fast Support
Mentoring and peer support are at the heart of our work. Our workshops challenge girls to explore their creativity, confidently assert their viewpoints and dialogue openly about things that matter to them. We use an evidence-based model as a framework for our activities.
Workshop leaders and the girls build rapport and trust, to make our workshops a safe space for sharing and growing. As a program model, mentoring works!

Welcome Back LEAD Girls!

Annual Sponsorships Available
LEAD Girls of NC is seeking sponsorships to help expand its programs and enable more middle school age girls to participate. While there are a variety of programs available for boys, similar programs for girls of this age are extremely limited. Your sponsorship will strengthen LEAD’s ability to continue its current programs while building a foundation for future expansion.
LEAD Girls is supported in 2020-2021 by an investment from the United Way of Forsyth County Place Matters Initiative. We are honored to be a Place Matters partner, working together with local residents and collaborative allies to propel our community and neighbors forward.
