Back to school season should be a time of energy, connection, and possibility. But for too many girls, it’s the opposite. They’re walking into classrooms feeling disconnected, unsure of themselves, and uncertain where they fit in.

The truth is, belonging builds confidence—and confidence fuels leadership. According to recent research, girls who feel like they belong at school are seven times more likely to describe themselves as confident (ROX 2023). That’s why Girl Talk centers connection and dialogue at the heart of our programs because we know that when girls see themselves in one another, they grow into leaders together.

For two decades, Girl Talk has created spaces to support girls as they girls see their worth, own their voice, and lead with confidence. Through our accessible, peer-led programs, girls connect through shared experiences and build the confidence they need to thrive.

By investing in Girl Talk, you’re committing to co-creating a world where girls across the country, no matter their background, have access to leadership opportunities, peer-to-peer mentorship, and a network of support that sets them up for lifelong success.

“Girl Talk has allowed me to mentor girls in a way that I wish I had when I was their age.”
– Ella, Teen Girl Talk Club Leader

And the impact of our dynamic leadership programs are powerful:

100% of Girl Talk Ambassadors said they felt a sense of belonging (2024-2025 Girl Talk Ambassador Program Survey).
100% of our Camp Counselors built meaningful relationships with other Counselors and Campers during Girl Talk Camp (2025 Girl Talk Camp Survey).
