“ I begin to attend Girls Growing 2 Women solely on the fact that my best friend was an active member. But once I started to realize the other beneficial factors, my best friend’s attendance no longer was my motivation to become apart of something bigger! We were donating our time throughout our community, learning to become empowered young women and staying true to our faith. I am currently attending Grand Valley State University!

“ I’m a freshman Communication Major at Oakland University and was actively apart of Girls Growing 2 Women for 3 years. I’m so thankful for the new confidence I’ve gained from being a member of the program. I’ve learned so much about how to carry myself as a young women and the importance of self-love. I enjoyed all the opportunity of volunteering the program offered and the interpersonal relationships with all of the girls. I am now very involved in multiple women’s groups on my campus thanks to GG2W!

“ I have been a member of Girls Growing 2 Women for three years and the youth president for two years! I love being a part of GG2W because it is really a family like environment. It is a place that you can feel safe to go and talk about anything. To make that a plus you don’t have to worry about being judged for what you have to say, instead you will get advice, and sometimes closer to your peers. GG2W helps us get ready for “The Real World” by preparing us for relationships, college, the workforce, and life overall. We also have amazing guest speakers that come and open our eyes to different things.
