Girls LEADing the way
Building a brighter future for our community starts with building a brighter future for our youth–especially girls. We’re equipping girls to confidently make thoughtful choices about their lives in the present, as the building blocks for a lifetime of smart, confident choices. What we teach girls now will help them grow into independent, capable and secure women.
Don’t just take our word for it. Watch our video to witness what others have to say about our impact. Help girls take the lead in their lives and in our nation’s future. Support LEAD Girls!
What is
LEAD?
Peer Power
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.
It Takes a Village
We believe it truly does take a village to raise strong girls. As a LEAD sponsor you’ll fuel the next generation of confident, determined women in the Winston-Salem and Greensboro communities. Make a donation and make a difference. Explore our available sponsorship opportunities.

1 in 3 local girls will struggle to achieve stability in adulthood. We’re on a mission to change that.
Helping girls see a road to a successful future and charting a path to get there is what we do.
We partner with schools and other community organizations to host LEAD Girls workshops during school time and on weekends.
More than 300 girls have already completed LEAD Girls training and we’ll train another 120 in the 2018-2019 school year.

We are mentors and so much more
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!
