Our mission is educate local girls on becoming strong decision makers in the global society as well as agents of change in their local community. We do this by providing opportunities for the girls to learn financial literacy, community service, and academic empowerment workshops. We meet bi-monthly with other young “Decision Makers” to learn the basic academic concepts to be educationally informed global and community agents of change.
