girlsforachange.org Imagine a girl who lives in a dangerous San Jose neighborhood. She wants to participate in the girls' after-school program, but she cannot. It is unsafe for her to walk home at 6:00 at night and her parents work until 8:00. Therefore, she goes home, right after school every day at 2:30, where she waits alone until her parents return. This is a common story. Imagine that same girl. Imagine that she knows how to address obstacles that limit her. Imagine that she goes to her principal and explains the problem and then she calls one of her mentors who connects her to the County Supervisor in her district. She also organizes a group of friends who have the same problem. Imagine that she sets a meeting with her friends, the principal, the mayor and the County Supervisor. She facilitates that meeting with the aim of finding a solution. And she does. Now she and her fellow students stay after school and have a safe way home. This is our work. Imagine the possibilities if every year 1,000 middle school and high school girls learn how to tackle community problems like this one. Picture the huge number of powerful women leaders driving the Bay Area and the world toward success and well-being.
