Girls Leadership Institute: Advocacy to ActionEmpowering Girls to Lead, Speak Up, and Spark Change

The Girls Leadership Institute: Advocacy to Action (GLI) is a dynamic, multi-session program designed to equip middle and high school girls with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to become powerful changemakers in their communities.
Through interactive workshops, affirmations, guest speakers, and real-world advocacy practice, girls explore the systems that shape their lives and learn how to navigate—and transform—them.

Program Highlights
GLI: Advocacy to Action covers topics such as:
  • Confidence & Power – Building self-awareness, public speaking skills, and personal affirmations.
  • How Government Works – Understanding local, state, and federal government systems and your role in them.
  • Advocacy in Action – Meeting real student-led advocacy groups and creating an issue-based campaign plan.
  • Taking Action – Practicing advocacy, public speaking, and fundraising through interactive activities and mentorship.
  • Graduation Celebration – Sharing affirmations and advocacy goals, and connecting with long-term leadership resources.
Graduates walk away with a toolkit of leadership skills, peer connections, and the inspiration to drive change—right now.
