The Program
Fierce & Daring Girls
The ForUsGirls Foundation Inc. Be Fierce & Daring program builds self-esteem, develops inner strength and leadership capabilities in diverse young womxn and girls through a 13-unit program. We achieve this by incorporating innovative creativity and transformative change into our approach.
Our program is based on peer-to-peer conversations, engagement and a thorough understanding of our collective experiences, journey, and marginalization. Girls' Club participants leave more confident with gained leadership and innovative skills to create their own successes and dreams.
Empowerment
A girl's self-esteem drops between the ages of 10-13. We believe in creating a healthy community and global leaders; we need to develop young girls' confidence and emotional strength. We create a safe space for those who identify as girls to develop their inner strength through our 12 unit curriculum.
