Jameelah reads her poem at our Spring Gala

 Girls' LEAP seeks to empower "the whole girl". We teach girls and teens, like Jameelah, both physical self-defense skills and self-reflective, socio-emotional skills to help them to discover the power of their bodies and voices.

Jameelah's mother, Alicia, has seen the positive influence that Girls' LEAP has had on her daughter's self-confidence and well-being. Jameelah has learned how to use her voice to speak her mind and to advocate for herself and for others. She has become a strong and confident young women.

Can you help more girls like Jameela find their voice?  We need your support to empower over 1,000 girls and young women in 2016. Please make your 2015 tax-deductible donation by midnight December 31!

We know that when we empower girls and young women to value and champion their own safety and well-being; in turn, they will improve our community for everyone.
