GirlUp GVL is a local nonprofit that provides free after-school and summer programming, devoted to developing young women in under-resourced communities. GirlUp GVL is filling a great need for middle and high school girls facing systemic barriers to success such as– instability in the home, socioeconomic factors, limited opportunities and achievement gaps within education. Through GirlUp GVL’s desire to enrich and empower each girl’s life, programming includes, but is not limited to tutoring, mentoring, group discussions, field trips, life and leadership skills classes, and college and job readiness. GirlUp GVL’s greatest desire is to help these young women realize their true worth and value and work towards reaching their full potential.
