Founded by Renee Richard in 2003, Cinnamongirl gives girls transformative experiences that build courage, confidence, and character. Cinnamongirl is a leadership development organization, serving girls from all over the United States. We create lifelong bonds between professionals and girls through programs that provide access, experiences, and a global mindset. We believe that when you immerse a girl of color in a powerful network, and provide her with life-changing experiences, not only will she thrive, but she will bring others along with her. For more information, visit Cinnamongirl.org.

We empower girls to be the visionaries our world needs. We target the girl who hasn't seen the possibilities for her life just yet, and doesn't quite understand her power, voice or leadership capabilities. We surround her with other ambitious youth, hands-on mentors and high-performing female leaders, encouraging her to step out of her comfort zone knowing she has the tools to take charge of her life to become a successful leader.

We champion the practice of valuing every voice, demystifying public speaking and increasing access to tools, mentors, and experiences that build confidence. While public speaking is a core skill many great leaders possess, the world lacks welcoming spaces to practice speaking up, express yourself, and strengthen community connections. This is especially true for women and girls who continue to face struggles and confront biases when developing their leadership skills and navigating inequitable barriers in society. To feel capable to lead and speak, girls need to first feel like they belong to a community that cares about them. Through high-quality public speaking education, we help our participants speak in a clear, engaging way that represents who they are and what they care about, focusing on storytelling, debate, self-advocacy, poetry, presentation, and listening. We offer programs for individuals, schools, and organizations, all focused on helping people of all ages be authentic, inspire positive change, address social anxieties, and feel connected to others. Our public speaking programs and accompanying resources create welcoming practice spaces to be brave and vulnerable and process how to navigate conditions that make it hard to speak up, capabilities that will serve them the rest of their lives.

 The creation of UAA was inspired by the lack of educational equity in many school districts across the United States, the lack of 21st Century Learning opportunities that continues to affect outcomes for many students and families of color and to STOP the School-to-Prison-Pipeline.?  The horrible and ugly truth is that the number of Privatized Prisons are built across the United States based upon data received from the Department of Education regarding students under-performing in reading, and math, student suspensions, and expulsions rates, and high school drop-out rates. It is even more shocking to learn that the School-to-Prison-Pipeline? is determined as early as Pre-K through 3rd grade and especially affects students of color in the Education Gap, students with disabilities, and students. UAA’s successful pilot project revealed that evidenced-based and researched-validated student support interventions and resources tremendously improved outcomes for students in the education gap, and students with disabilities.  UAA’s pilot identified six (6) types of student profiles receiving support interventions by UAA’s Educational First Responders/Advocates at five, (5) school districts: Sacramento City, Twin Rivers, Elk Grove, Natomas, & Folsom-Cordova.

Bay Area Girls Rock Camp serves self-identified girls, trans, and gender-expansive youth. We use music as a tool for cultivating community, support and power for youth who often struggle to find those things in the music industry and the rest of the world. Former BAGRC staff member and longtime community organizer, Shawna Scroggins, came up with an acronym for GIRLS that encompasses who we are as an organization, who we serve, and what we strive to accomplish: Gender Inclusivity through Radical Love and Support. BAGRC runs three youth programs. Summer Camp is a week-long session, of which we have three during the months of June and July. Campers will spend the mornings in instrument instruction, learning either vocals, guitar, bass, drums, or keyboards, and the afternoons in band practice, where they co-write original songs to perform for their family and friends at the end of each session! When they are not in instrument instruction or band practice, they are in workshops which vary day-to-day, but all center around the intersections of art and activism. Girls Rock After School Program (GRASP) is a 10-week program that starts in early January and ends mid-March. Campers meet on Tuesday and/or Thursday afternoons, with Tuesdays being instrument instruction days and Thursdays being band practice days. GRASP campers also attend workshops outside of their instrument and band time. We also have a practice space that is open year-round. The practice space is open to anyone who has attended Summer Camp or GRASP before, and is completely free of cost. It is equipped with instruments so youth don't need to bring their own. The practice space is mentored by an adult volunteer, who can help youth with their instrument or just be there to quietly supervise.
