VOICES: MENTORING & LEADERSHIP

Often times girls and young women feel unheard. It’s a phenomenon called “losing their voice,” where even the most audacious girls are likely to become more cautious about speaking out and less likely to assert themselves. 

Voices (Vibrant, Outspoken, Intelligent, Creative and Educated Sisters) is the BGD foundation mentorship program that empowers girls and young women by encouraging their ideas and providing a safe space to express themselves. Leadership and coaching classes integrate with other programmatic initiatives to provide participants an opportunity to utilize skills as active participants in our other programs.
