Virtual Annual Members Meeting
AFG’s Annual Members Meeting is a timely opportunity for us to have critical conversations as a network on how we can ensure that girls and gender-expansive youth, especially those of color, are valued, respected, and safe, particularly in the current political climate. By coming together, we can build our collective power in order to protect the rights of our young people, sustain our critical programs, and continue to push for a world that we and our young people dream of.
Political Impact on Girls & Gender-Expansive Youth: Your Voice, Your Power, Our Future
The virtual panel event will be an important and inspiring conversation about how the political environment and actions of the current presidential administration impact girls and gender-expansive youth and the organizations that serve them. Our recent Political Impact Survey gathered insights from 58 organizations that support youth, and this event will be the first chance to hear the findings. The event will also feature a virtual panel discussion and provide a space to connect, learn, and work together towards solutions.
Alliance for Girls x Girls Inc. of Alameda County: The State of the Girl Initiative Virtual Plática
Alliance for Girls* has set a 5-year goal: to create an imagined community** in the Bay Area where girls and gender-expansive youth, particularly those of color, are valued, respected, and safe. By working together, we can turn this vision into reality. Central to this vision are the State of the Bay Area Girl Initiative (SGI) County Profiles. These SGI County Profiles are designed to be more than just data—they are a cornerstone of AFG's effort to center the lived experiences of girls and gender-expansive youth of color through actionable youth-led data made up of both current and aspirational indicators for measuring their well-being across all nine Bay Area counties. Through this, we aim to position these young people as experts and solution builders, benefiting the entire community.
To develop these profiles, on October 2, 2024 from 3:30-5:30pm, Alliance for Girls and Girls Inc. of Alameda County will be co-hosting a virtual Plática for the State of the Bay Area Girl Initiative at Girls Inc. Simpson Center for Girls in Oakland. The literal translation of pláticas is “talks;” however, pláticas are more than talks—they are family and community gatherings where powerful conversations occur in a warm, friendly environment.
In the virtual Plática, expect to:
Be led by youth facilitators from community partners.
Dive deep into the heart of what makes up the County Profiles with an enhanced focus on Alameda County.
Contribute to systemic change and building a future that reflects your aspirations, and meet like-minded people along the way.
Be an active part of decision-making processes and ensure your vision for the future is heard.
By engaging in this collaborative process, we will, county by county, hone these SGI profiles together, strengthening community bonds and enriching our imagined community with diverse perspectives and collective wisdom. This approach ensures that every voice is valued and contributes to our pioneering efforts in youth-led advocacy and community-driven research.
We hope to see you there!

Together with our founding LA members, we are excited to host an AFG LA Kick-Off event, an organizing conference to convene organizations that serve girls and gender-expansive youth across LA County and youth leaders themselves.

New school year forum: Tackling Sexual Harassment in Schools
ORGANIZED BY: Alliance for Girls + The Unity Council
COST: Free
About this event
Join us for a community-building and healing-oriented event for youth leaders and adult advocates seeking to bring radical safety to schools and address sexual harassment.
Alliance for Girls is co-hosting this event with Unity Council to prepare both youth and adult advocates for a new school year prioritizing policies and programs that help sexual assault/harassment survivors.
This event will provide advocates seeking to address sexual assault with a safe space to address sexual harassment in schools. Conversations fostered in this space will disrupt the culture of silence that so often shrouds instances of sexual assault and allows them to continue under the radar. Students and advocates in attendance will be encouraged to share their ideas and recommend strategies to address sexual harassment in schools.
The event will be an entirely virtual event. It is open to all youth and youth champions.
$15 Visa Gift cards will be provided to youth 24 and under who RSVP and attend the event.
