Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Girls Leadership Institute, Inc. (Girls Leadership) is a national, educational non-profit with a mission to teach girls to exercise the power of their voice. {continued on Schedule O).

Activities or mission (Part I)

Girls Leadership's mission is to equip schools and youth serving organizations with the resources and training to create environments where girls exercise the power of their voice and are inspired to lead.

  • To deepen our impact and expand access, Girls Leadership builds the capacity of adultseducators, caregivers such as parents, and youth workers, including sports coaches, social workers, mentors, and otherswho are already embedded in girls lives. We do this by providing in-depth training and vetted resources. This professional development programming includes up to 36 hours of total training for adults in girls lives using a youth-informed curriculum. This curriculum is organized across five core SEL domainsMindfulness and Self-Compassion, Identity and Self-Awareness, Social Awareness and Diversity, Relationship Skills and Community, and Justice and Actionand is sequenced from kindergarten through 12th grade to ensure developmentally aligned impact and lasting change across learning environments.

    Expenses $2,331,319 · Revenue $309,039

  • The vetted resources shared in our trainings come from listening and co-designing with girls. We partner with girls to co-create educational resources and environments through youth leadership structures such as youth leadership clubs, research councils, and advisory boards. The learnings from this co-design process become curriculum and training that is tested and vetted with students impacted by systemic inequities and their youth-serving adults, and then scaled through professional development training and resource sharing to impact all youth.

  • In 2024 we published Why We Lead, the first national study of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander girls. This study was led by Girls Leaderships Asian American and Pacific Islander Youth Research Council17 high school students selected from over 500 applicantswho led a national IRB-approved study exploring the leadership experiences and mental health needs of AANHPI girls and gender-expansive youth. For two years, these young people created research questions, conducted focus groups, analyzed findings, and co-authored recommendations. Over 2,300 youth and 500 educators participated. Why We Lead has been used to inform school districts, community organizations, and funders seeking to better support AANHPI youth. The Councils work was publicly celebrated at our Power of Voice event in San Francisco, where members presented their findings to hundreds of educators and supporters.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
