OUR PROGRAMS
LEAD Program
LEAD empowers girls to make good decisions. Good decisions allow girls to build a successful future. We partner with schools and community organizations to give at-risk, middle school girls a safe space for learning and growth.
We offer our flagship girls leadership program in two settings:
- School-based LEAD programs are offered at our partner middle schools
- Community-based LEAD programs are open to middle school students from any local school and is hosted online via Zoom or in-person at our downtown office.
Over the course of a semester, we build a relationship with each girl and guide them through an evidence-based curriculum formed around Awareness, Communications, Leadership and Perspective, our four core fundamentals.
Our program follows an evidence-based curriculum
Each LEAD program is a workshop series that meets for 17 sessions
Girls engage in dialogue, journaling and sharing
We teach goal setting, future planning and problem-solving
How the LEAD program works
Empowering girls to succeed, because every girl can.
Our girls leadership program is a structured, multi-session workshop series. Over the course of 17 sessions, we use dialogue-focused sessions to:
- engage girls in deep thinking
- facilitate active communication about challenges, goals and aspirations
- teach age-appropriate financial literacy, career exploration and academic success strategies
- perform community service projects
- instill and nurture a desire to “give back” and “be doers”
The LEAD Program and Community LEAD serve over 300 middle school girls in Forsyth county during the school year.
