                                                      What We Do
                      
Our Girls Empowered through Mentoring and Service (OurGEMS) is committed to improving life for girls in our community by empowering them to be leaders in their community through mentorship, character development, and asset building. We help girls discover what their individual skills and passions are, and work with them to develop these interests to their fullest potential.     

Our Program Objectives Are:
1. Increase a girl's self-confidence, self-esteem and self-awareness by introducing them to the brilliance that is already in them.

2. Provide a supportive and nurturing environment for girls to voice concerns about issues affecting their lives and teach them skills that will help them navigate life.

3. Keep girls engaged, connected and on-track to graduate high school by developing a success mindset by teaching them important concepts such as perseverance,  effort, resiliency, responsibility and integrity.

4. Develop a girl's skills in collaboration and communication.

                                      When Girls Understand Their Value

We believe the way girls perceive their own worth/value will have a profound effect on every area of their lives. Our culture sends conflicting messages that distort and taint our girls’ view of who a woman should be.  When girls understand their value and worth they will conduct themselves differently. They will think differently. They will make a difference.
​                         We want to instill in them a deep and lasting knowledge of who they are in this society.
