Putting Our Lives to Work, For Girls
Through education, mentorship, and life skills training, we open doors for girls who’ve been impacted by juvenile justice, poverty, or the New York City foster care system. After serving over 3,000 girls, conducting over 1068 workshops, and dispersing more than $20,000 in stipends, we’ve learned that helping a girl change her life will ultimately empower her to do the same for others. Please join us in giving girls the hope and support they deserve.
“I started Girl Vow because, as a young girl, I was suicidal.
But as I got older, I realized it wasn't that I wanted to die —
I wanted my problems to die.”
–Dawn Rowe, Founder
