2022 Impact Report
“GirlForward is where I made the closest friends of my life. I’m a college graduate now and no one compares to the friends I made when I was a drop-in at GirlForward.” -Miriam
2021 Impact Report
“I bet Blair never imagined that her little idea would turn into all of this!” -Karidja
2020 Impact Report
“When I first heard that Camp would be online, I was a little bit nervous to meet new people. I also hate talking virtually, it’s just not my thing. I also thought, 'what if I’m not on time, what if I have problems connecting to the Zoom class?', because I’ve never done it before. But it turned out really good and it was really fun. I got to learn a lot of things and I got to learn how to use technology more.
2019 Impact Report
“Each girl we work with has an identity and story that is uniquely layered and we are proud to be a step on the path that each girl is charting for herself.”
2018 Impact Report
“When we ask girls what GirlForward means to them, the word we hear most often is “home.” Part of that might be the four walls - it just so happens that in 2018, GirlForward made two new spaces our home in Chicago and Austin. But beyond an address and beyond tables and chairs, we know that when it comes to GirlForward, home is a feeling.”
2016-2017 Impact Report
“GirlForward is what is possible when we dare to imagine a world far better than the one we have been conditioned to accept.”
