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.

Alliance for Girls is taking the COVID-19 threat to our health and community wellbeing very seriously. While our office is currently physically closed, our staff are working remotely with all hands on deck to provide programming that can support our members, our school partners, and girls and gender-expansive youth during this difficult time. We are here for you, and we will get through this together. Read our full statement and access our aggregated list of resources. To receive updates, sign up here.
