love means meeting needs
with compassion.
At GSWW,
Many girls struggle not only with tangible poverty —but also inner poverty:
diminished self-worth
negative internal language
feeling unseen
uncertainty about identity and purpose
GSWW exists to help girls rise out of both.
We believe girls
thrive when
they:
feel seen
know their worth
experience belonging
develop confidence
feel supported by community
"I can see the inner diaglogue of my daughter changing."

Our 12 month program allows for a full experience to fit within the busy schedule of a Female Student Athlete that coincides with the school year. Workshops are planned for Sunday evenings to accommodate sports schedules.
Our program is centered around Girls empowering girls and you only get out of the experience what you are willing to put in. It is a team effort and to gain the best results, our team is more impactful when everyone is present. Everyone holds a key piece to the overall success of each conversation and project.
To 'COMPLETE' our program attendance is key. However, we understand life happens and have guidelines in place that allow for unexpected situations to take place.

For us, it is quality vs. quantity. We dive into conversation with a few instead of packing the room to ensure EVERY girl is seen and heard. This allows for the appropriate amount of time for conversation and attention during the entire experience so the benefits of our experience is gained.
The maximum quantity for the 2026-2027 season per group is 16 with 3 facilitators

International travel is NOT required to be participate in our Ambassador Leadership Program. It is an experience offered in addition to our local activities.
Many girls have the desire to travel because they have the passion to help young girls in areas of extreme poverty. However, locally through our Grassroots Leadership Program, there are many ways to give back locally and make a difference without traveling out of the country.
Please note: International travel is open to Ambassadors only. Being a part of our Leadership Program is required to travel abroad and participate in our international programs. Travel is open to 16-18 year old Ambassadors.

GREAT IDEA!!
There are several ways to raise money and we would love to help you get started. We suggest filling out an application and if accepted into our program we can help you come up with a plan. We are happy to help you create a script and materials to send to friends and family.
Idea to get you started NOW:
Most effective impact is a personal handwritten letter sharing your why, what you will gain, a little about the girls you will be helping through our Grassroots Leadership Program, and your passion for GSW!
It can also be a tax deduction for some gifting, however, that is a conversation for their tax expert.
