The Girl Power Academy

Group of girls with Dr. Jackie Phillips

The Girl Power Academy is dedicated to developing and empowering girls aged 10-18 to become Change Makers by discovering their Girl Power Gems as they gain a deeper sense of confidence and resilience. Our year-long program aims to equip young girls with the skills and support they need to navigate life's challenges, set personal and academic goals, and ultimately transform into empowered leaders of tomorrow.

What They Learn

Personal and Academic development

Working their way through the Girl Power Gem curriculum, each girl will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.   They will work alongside a coach to develop personalized goals tailored to their unique needs and aspirations, ensuring that every participant has a clear road map for their personal and academic success. 

Emotional intelligence and wellness

A key part of The Girl Power Academy is the weekly Girl Power Circles, where girls can safely share experiences, learn from others, and build emotional intelligence. They will also develop a wellness toolkit with strategies and resources to help them navigate adolescence and strengthen their emotional well-being.

Life Skills, Leadership, and Career Exploration

Each week, participants will join workshops on life skills, leadership, and career exploration, covering topics like financial literacy, time management, and communication. These sessions provide practical knowledge and hands-on experience, aiming to expand their career options and inspire them to pursue their passions.

Mentorship

Girls will connect with women from a variety of careers who offer personal guidance and real-world insights. Through these conversations, the girls will gain valuable advice, learn from diverse experiences, and be inspired to explore different career paths.
