Everyone Has a Girl Talk Story. What's Yours?

Whether you’ve experienced it firsthand or wish you had, the social-emotional lessons, leadership development, and relationship-building that Girl Talk offers make a lasting impact on thousands of lives. Our community is united by one thing: the transformative power of peer mentorship.

The impact of Girl Talk doesn’t end when you graduate from Girl Talk Clubs or even when Camp ends. It lasts a lifetime.

Through our structured and holistic leadership programs with no barriers to access, we address the challenges that today’s girls face, helping them build confidence and community. Girl Talk motivates all girls to discover and embrace their unique leadership styles, while also fostering self-discovery and practicing empathy in all aspects of their lives, for the rest of their lives. Yet, Girl Talk is made possible largely through compassionate gifts from people who are dedicated not only to the girls in their lives, but to all girls, everywhere.

Every donation to Girl Talk this Giving Tuesday helps to sustain and expand our reach to ensure that more girls have access to our transformative leadership programming.

Will you join us in empowering tomorrow's trailblazers? Together, we can continue a legacy of impact that echoes for years to come.

THE GIRL TALK APPROACH

Research shows that girls' confidence drops by 30% between the ages of 8 and 14, and that this gap often persists into adulthood (Girls Leadership 2021). Girl Talk directly addresses the obstacles that today’s girls face by offering leadership programs like Clubs and Camp, which are designed to build confidence in their authentic selves, encourage respectful dialogue around complex and difficult topics, and inspire positive action through community service. Girls are at the center of everything that we do: from the Girl Talk Curriculum, which offers 100+ lessons and multimedia resources, to the facilitation of our programs through a unique peer-to-peer mentorship model.

The 2022 National Survey of Children's Health highlights that many girls aged 6-17 lack a mentor or guide in their life. Girl Talk steps in to fill this gap by providing a mentorship model where older girls, with the support of Girl Talk HQ and a trusted Adult Advisor, mentor their younger peers, creating a cascading network of support that exceeds beyond just leadership development. Through our annual summer Camp, we witness girls gain the confidence to step into their most authentic selves right before our eyes. When one girl finds her voice, it inspires others to do the same, ushering in a powerful cycle of confidence, leadership, and community impact.

KHALIMA'S STORY

An “important part of my journey with confidence was joining Girl Talk, where I learned what it truly means to be a confident leader. There, I was able to bond with girls who shared similar interests. Since joining, Girl Talk has given me the chance to grow in my confidence while being part of a loving environment.

Looking back, my journey wasn’t about ‘finding myself’ but about learning to embrace who I’ve always been. With friends who see me for me and the support from Girl Talk, I know now that confidence is simply believing in my unique light and trusting that the right people will recognize it too. If you ever feel alone or feel like you have to change yourself to fit in, just know that the people meant to be in your life will find you and show you unconditional love and acceptance.”

Girl Talk has been inspiring girls like Khalima to be confident leaders for over two decades. Read Khalima’s full story on our website: Khalima's Girl Talk Story - Girl Talk, Inc.
