Dear GLI Friends,
Do you know that GLI programs are teaching girls to identify, navigate and reverse the destructive rituals and lessons of girlhood: from bullying and aggression to perfectionism and stress? We run transformational programs in three regions: the San Francisco Bay Area, Colorado and New York City. GLI has also created a thriving residential summer camp.
One attendee said,
“We just took the 4th-5th grade GLI class in October. I wanted to email you to thank you so much for a wonderful experience. It has really changed our daughter’s approach to dealing with relationships in school and her feelings. So much so, that she has really been practicing what she has learned with actual conflicts.”
Help more girls take part in our effort! Please consider a $125 donation to the Girls Leadership Institute this holiday season in honor of the many wonderful girls in your life!
Kind regards,
Coni Frezzo
Chair, Board of Directors
