Every girl can lead.
Girls are powerful. When they're educated, healthy, and safe they can transform their communities. When girls stand up for girls in need, they empower each other and transform our world. The purpose is for Girls and Young Women to have a forum to explore some complex and challenging issues facing young women today. Leadership development improves schooling outcomes, decreases risk behaviors, and helps girls plan a successful future.
Since initially launching as Limitless Leaders in 2016, more than 500 girls have benefited from our programs. Starting in Fall 2022 we are partnering with Fayette County & Jefferson County Schools, to provide services at school based sites. Our community based program continues to grow in Lexington & Louisville.
We provide an interactive, girl-centered leadership program at our annual leadership conference, and we teach girls the power of being who they want to be! Learn more about our programs below:
