Where It All Began

It's been 11 years since The Girls Project was first created. The program was developed in response to bullying and name-calling at The Neighborhood School. The school's principal Judith Foster felt that the overall culture of the school had to be addresses where such issues where concerned.

It is quite rewarding to see that after a decade, our program's value is still felt. Topics have since been expanded to cover a wide range of social issues, as well as to accommodate the demands of boys who wanted a similar space. And, schools and CBO's continue to contact us about training their teachers and staff and implementing our curricula into their organizations.

And, it is humbling to see that our pilot site is still running our programs. The teachers there believe in the effects of such an empowerment program on their students; as do we. Thanks to The Neighborhood School!
