Energizing Young Women and Girls Through Collaboration and Community

WHEN GIRLS THRIVE

We launched the When Girls Thrive COVID-19 Response Initiative to fill the data gap on the needs of girls and gender-expansive youth, and are bringing together advocates, educators, policymakers and agency leaders to ensure that girls’ needs are met as California navigates the COVID-19 pandemic and prepares for a post-COVID reality.
