Dedicated to supporting girls as they design their futures for successful womanhood

Girls to Women partners with Mid-Peninsula families, other local youth development agencies, and local schools to provide year-round programming for local girls, supporting healthy development. At the core of our youth development approach is respect for the abilities, knowledge and potential of each girl we serve.

Our girls thrive among the positive, culturally-reflective female role models whom they meet through Girls to Women – that, and an approach which sees girls’ unique attributes and ‘herstories’ as cues to help us best serve them and their families.

Leveraging our community’s array of existing resources, we work collaboratively to bring together the facilities, personnel, and infrastructure to provide excellent programming within reach of disadvantaged girls in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park.

We're the only girl-centered youth development organization in the community.

GIRLS TO WOMEN is a tax-exempt public benefit organization serving our community's elementary and early middle school-age girls and their families.
