Our vision is to be the premier leadership organization for girls in New York City, and Our Mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Through our various programs: Business & Entrepreneurship, Environmental Leadership, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Personal Identity Leadership, and many more we encourage girls to embrace all challenges. We're molding the future generations of girls to consistently transform her ideas into actions, turn her questions into adventures, and grow a lifetime of confidence.
