Girls Take Charge is a leadership program for high school and middle school girls. The program is highly interactive, providing an opportunity for girls to express their thoughts and experiences. 

The Girls Take Charge curriculum has been carefully designed after years of research, surveys and facilitation to ensure it maximizes the opportunity to teach girls key life and leadership skills that matter.  It is a special set of workshops that all girls can benefit from.

WHY GIRLS TAKE CHARGE?
Girls Take Charge inspires and empowers teenage girls to become self-confident and compassionate leaders in their schools and communities. Girls benefit from hands-on sessions and coaching from experienced women leaders and university women student leaders on topics including Positive Risk Taking, Goal Setting, Collaboration, and Decision Making.

Girls Take Charge reaches young women at the time when they are most susceptible to the corrosive power of social messaging that is so influential it is defining how girls view their own self worth and ability to achieve success. Girls Take Charge acts as a counterbalance, producing confident young women who are energized about the future and have the tools to make a difference in their schools and communities.
