GIRLFORWARD

CHICAGO, Illinois, 60660-1400 United States

Mission Statement

GirlForward is a community of support dedicated to creating and enhancing opportunities for girls who have been displaced globally by conflict and persecution.

About This Cause

GirlForward is the first and only non-profit organization in the U.S. dedicated to supporting girls who have resettled here as refugees from around the world. GirlForward serves about 200 girls annually in Chicago, IL and Austin, TX through our three core programs: Mentoring Program, Education Program, and Safe Spaces. We serve girls in grades 9-12 (ages 14-21), who come from more than twelve different countries, including Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Bhutan, among others. All are English language learners who have experienced limited and/or severely disrupted access to education. Check out our website to learn more about our work!
