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.
