Empowering the female youth is the key to a prosperous life for adult women.
Today's children need balance in order to succeed in the future. Learning how to navigate societal expectations, manage emotions and communicate from the classroom, to the lunch table, to after school activities, and then home is a big task to take on.
Girl Powerful is a youth empowerment 501(c)3, co-founded by sisters Tedi and Sonya Serge, designed to give female youth the tools to build a strong sense of self. Our mission is to make all girls feel seen, valued and heard.™ Our Girl Powerful philosophy & curriculum is based on socio-emotional learning (SEL) and is endorsed by L. Edmondson Ed. D.
Girl Powerful Mission:
- After School Enrichment Program: Girl Powerful is a youth program designed to encourage children to lead active and healthy lives. We offer three 10 week enrichment programs in independent schools: #GIRLPOWERFUL, Dance Your Heart Out and Oceanography. Our lessons are based on our belief in respect, high self-esteem, Los Angeles community involvement, nature and being active.
- Self-Love Club for Women: Girl Powerful believes in community building and connection. We host quarterly Self-Love Club events for women to gather, self-reflect, connect and be hands-on. Events can be centered around self-care or movement. Past partners include TOMS, Sweaty Betty, The Created Co., Barry’s Bootcamp, SoulCycle, Superba Food + Bread, BoxUnion, CycleBar, RYU and more.
- The Girl Powerful program is a dedicated "safe space" where female youth are informally encouraged to build positive self-esteem, set and achieve goals, manage emotions, develop a mind body connection, self-reflect and find value in female unity.
