In January 2022, Girls Empowerment Network embarked on a mission to update our organizational Theory of Change, informed by extensive community feedback. Through listening groups, we identified key challenges for girls today, including post-pandemic social navigation, academic pressure, and mental health issues. We learned the critical importance of skills like self-confidence, goal setting, relationship-building, and coping mechanisms. Our findings highlighted the necessity for brave spaces, relatable role models, and empowering youth to use their voices, all of which are pivotal for our future programs and advocacy efforts.

We’re thrilled to share the exciting rebrand of our self-efficacy curriculum – a transformation that symbolizes a radiant new era for our organization.
