Mission Statement
Strong Women, Strong Girls empowers girls to realize a broader future through a curriculum grounded on female role models delivered by college women, who are themselves mentored by professional women. Strong Women, Strong Girls (SWSG) strives to support positive mentoring relationships between college women and pre-adolescent girls in underserved local communities with the vision that every girl will realize her inner strengths to dream and do.
About This Cause
Since being founded as a student group at Harvard University in 2000, Strong Women, Strong Girls (SWSG), has been unapologetically focused on the self-esteem, leadership, and empowerment of girls and women. SWSG addresses these areas in three main ways: 1) Girls in grades 3-5 engage in small-group, after-school mentoring using a preventative, skills-based, research-driven, curriculum. 2) Undergraduate women are trained to mentor these girls. They are supported by the staff and their SWSG college chapter in how to best disseminate the material and build strong community. 3) Strong Leaders, professional women mentors, mentor the college women and help them explore their own possibilities and goals. Strong Women, Strong Girls is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization with programming throughout Greater Boston and Pittsburgh. We believe that relationships, skill building, and role models are essential to creating cycles of mutual empowerment for women and girls.
