"Be true to your convictions, and do not settle. You may take some detours and encounter some roadblocks along the way, but never give up on the pursuit of excellence—however you may define that for yourself.”
ELAINE WELTEROTH, AMERICAN JOURNALIST AND EDITOR
EMPOWERMENT NETWORK
Empower every part of your life!
Instilling confidence in young girls has never been more important — every girl deserves a chance at greatness. This is one of our core values at the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, and we're not alone in this mission. The following organizations are also incredible resources for girls to realize their true potential and make a difference in the world!
Girl Up
Girl Up is a girl-centered leadership development initiative, focusing on equity for girls and women in spaces where they are unheard or underrepresented. They operate a global network of regional affiliates impacting 200,000 girls and youth leaders in 152 countries and all 50 U.S. states, developing transformative leaders who advance gender justice worldwide.
Write Girl
WriteGirl is a Los Angeles-based creative writing and mentoring organization that spotlights the power of a girl and her pen. At WriteGirl, they match girls with women writers who mentor them in creative writing. Every year, they produce dozens of workshops, panel discussions and special events to help girls get creative, get through high school and get to college.
Girls On The Run
Girls on the Run inspires participants of all abilities to recognize their individual strengths while building a sense of connection in a team setting. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development to enable participants to adapt to whatever comes their way.
Girls Inc.
Girls Inc. focuses on the development of the whole girl. She learns to value herself, take risks, and discover and develop her inherent strengths. The combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment, and evidence-based programming equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent.
Girls For A Change
GFAC programs are designed to provide consistent support to girls, from their youth into their young adulthood, and beyond. Through experiential learning and consistent exposure, we focus on ensuring girls are ahead of the learning curve, breaking cycles and closing the opportunity gaps faced by too many disadvantaged, marginalized or underrepresented girls.
She's The First
She's The First teaches girls how to speak up for herself in her home, school, and community, while they teach the mentors in her life practical ways to support her agency. As a result, these girls become the first women in their families to achieve amazing milestones—and they are never the last.
Women's Sports Foundation
The Women’s Sports Foundation was established in 1974 to advance the lives of women and girls through sports and physical activity. Their mission is to enable all girls and women to reach their potential in sports and life. They provide financial fuel to aspiring champion athletes. They fund groundbreaking research. They educate. They advocate. And they help communities get girls active.
Girls Who Invest
Seema R. Hingorani founded Girls Who Invest (GWI) in 2015 as a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the number of women in portfolio management and executive leadership in the investment management industry. Their approach is inclusive: education, mentoring, internships, and a supportive community.
