Give Today and Double Your Impact!
In today’s world, girls and gender-expansive youth—especially those of color—face unique and pressing challenges. As we step into a new era with the awareness of the hurdles ahead, we celebrate women leaders like Kamala Harris, whose historic achievements inspire the next generation to persevere, lead, and make a difference. However, we recognize that the new administration brings challenges that make our mission even more urgent.
Our Mission Matters
Girls' LEAP is dedicated to disrupting the cycle of violence that affects girls and gender-expansive youth in greater Boston by amplifying their voices, building their confidence, and imparting life-saving self-defense and resilience skills. Our programs are a lifeline, providing these young people with the tools they need to thrive in a world that isn’t always supportive of their strength.
The Need Is Real
- 1 in 3 girls will experience physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a partner.
- 50% of all sexual assault victims are between the ages of 6 and 17, with 10- to 14-year-olds at the highest risk.
By donating to Girls' LEAP today, you’re helping us create a safer, stronger future for Boston’s girls and gender-expansive youth. Your gift equips them with the resilience, self-defense, and leadership skills they need to overcome today’s obstacles and grow into the leaders of tomorrow.
