A Special Message from Girls with
Goals Alliance Leadership Team
- Girls with Goals Alliance has gone 'Virtual'! Our agency will be transitioning to a virtual platform that offers a variety of activities, quests, and decision-making processes to assist with achieving set goals now and plans for life after high school!
- We are interested in connecting with prospective mentors that are caring, dedicated, encouraging, and supportive in building relationships with youth that are goal-oriented. If you are that person visit the Mentoring Impact page and sign up!
- 'Thank You!' To all volunteers for their dedication and commitment to the vision, mission, and work efforts in mentoring young girls. We are grateful for your desire to affect change through mentoring and preparing girls for the future of our communities, country, and our world.
- Because of COVID-19 and the safety of all program volunteers, participants, stakeholders, and families, all one-to-one mentoring, group sessions, and scheduled meetings be suspended until further notice. Our bi-monthly meetings are conducted via Zoom until further notice.
Thank you, GWGA Leadership Team!
Black History Moments!Congressman John Robert Lewis, the son of sharecroppers who survived a brutal beating by police during a landmark 1965 march in Selma, Alabama, to become a towering figure of the civil rights movement and a longtime US Congressman, has died after a six-month battle with cancer. He was 80.
During one of several trips we took, this one to Washington, DC, was by far the most rewarding and inspirational. Our lunches at the Capitol were hosted by Congressman Scott Rigell. On this particular day, Congressman John Lewis was walking past the door and inquired about our group, he was invited in by Congressman Rigell. For those of us, that knew the 'History' we were honored to have him join us and share sage wisdom of the 'struggle', the importance of our vote, to always keep learning and so much more. This was a historical time for us and we will never forget the symbolism of this photo displaying true bipartisanship, simply priceless! May the peace of God console his family and may he rest in peace! Delores Perry, Co-Founder/Exec.Director |

Dorothy's Girls Scholarship Fund
Girls with Goals Alliance launched the scholarship fund in March 2019 to mark 10-years of effecting change and making a difference in young girls' lives. The scholarship funds will support participating mentees that plan to pursue degree in STEM after graduating from high school. The fund also assists with fees for mentees that attend STEM camps. Awards are presented in August after applications are reviewed and approved by the Scholarship committee and board.
We thank you for your gifts of TIME, TALENTS, or TREASURES to mentor our youth, the impact will be great! Please donate to the 'Mentoring Effect' that is evident in the girls that are being mentored by a caring adult mentor. Help us continue the impact of empowering, and encouraging them to make the right choices about academics, behavior, and their lives after high school. Your donation of $50 will help with S.T.R.E.A.M. workshops, $100 will pay for field trips and cultural events and $100 will provide training and recruitment of new volunteers.
