About Us

Our Mission

Believe in The Power of Girls.

At The Power of Girls, we envision a world where every girl has the confidence and skills to become a leader. We’re an Atlanta-based nonprofit on a mission to empower young women through mentorship, team-building, and transformative cultural experiences.

Our year-long “Power House” program guides a select group of girls through a curriculum designed to build self-awareness, leadership skills, and a strong sense of community. But the journey doesn’t end there. It culminates in an international trip that opens their eyes to the world’s diverse cultures and challenges, broadening their perspectives and igniting their potential.

Why International Travel?

Imagine a young girl exploring ancient ruins in Peru, connecting with girls in a rural village in India, or navigating the bustling markets of Morocco. These experiences push them beyond their comfort zones, spark their curiosity, and build confidence in ways they never imagined. For our Power of Girls, travel is more than just an adventure – it’s a catalyst for personal growth and a powerful reminder that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

Programming + Travel = Success

The Power of Girls creates a competitive advantage for its participants. Grounded in skills related to self-awareness, social awareness, and self-expression, The Power of Girls curriculum provides learning experiences designed to create a common understanding of the pervasive global challenges impacting girls, their families, and their communities. Each curriculum lesson explores the lives of a girl in one country around the world, using storytelling as a means to facilitate youth-led social action. These structured learning experiences are the catalysts to the appreciation for international travel, service to others, and social action.

The Girls

Each program year, 15 to 25 middle school girls (6th – 8th grade) will be selected from a pool of applicants to participate in our year-long “Power House” curriculum focused on developing confidence, leadership skills and self-awareness. The programming culminates with an international trip.
