Girl Neighborhood Power

Madison's Girl Neighborhood Power initiative provides girls ages 9-14 with the opportunities and support they need to become confident skilled young women through a comprehensive approach including leadership, community service, health education and career development. Girl Neighborhood Power uses the power of youth, family and the community to strengthen resilience, build skills, and provide opportunities, so that girls make responsible choices and reach their highest aspirations.

Girl Neighborhood Power provides daily after school activities and evening activities including community service projects, exercise, health education, discussion/support sessions, special workshops, field trips to job sites with non-traditional career opportunities, and special weekend family activities. Over 250 girls participate on an annual basis with a daily average participation of 60 girls.
