By choosing "I Believe in Her," you are helping one girl step into a space designed for her growth and healing. Your support helps cover the quiet but powerful details that make the retreat feel special: a journal that becomes her safe place to dream, a T‑shirt that reminds her she belongs, printed affirmations she can tuck into her backpack when life feels heavy. These may seem small, but for a girl who has been told to shrink, they become daily reminders that her voice matters.
These supplies are used in sessions where girls write down their dreams, map out goals for school and beyond, and engage in activities that connect their journeys with peers across the globe. When a girl picks up her own journal or adds the final piece to an art project about her future, she is holding a physical reminder that someone believed her ideas were worth putting on paper.
This gift level helps underwrite retreat costs for a pair of girls who may be facing very different challenges but share the same need: a safe place to be poured into. Your support helps provide their program materials, creative supplies, and reflection tools for sessions on self-worth, goal setting, and leadership. It allows both girls to sit side by side in circles where they are encouraged to ask questions, share their stories, and see themselves as future change-makers.
When you give at this level, you help provide retreat access and materials for five girls who may have never stepped away from everyday responsibilities to focus solely on themselves. Your support helps cover items like program workbooks, reflection journals, creative art and leadership supplies, and printed resources they can bring home to continue their growth. These tools become anchors long after the retreat ends-pages of goals, prayers, and action steps that they return to during hard days.
Your support helps cover safe travel to and from the retreat, along with nourishing meals and snacks throughout the experience. This means families do not have to choose between paying for everyday essentials and allowing their daughters to participate. It means a girl can sit in a leadership session focused on her future without worrying about how she will get home or whether there will be enough to eat.
Your gift helps underwrite retreat costs for ten participants, easing a significant portion of the financial barrier that often keeps girls from experiences like this. It supports their retreat materials, creative and leadership supplies, printed guides, and other essentials that make our time together feel thoughtful and dignifying. These are the items that help each girl feel, from the moment she arrives, "Someone prepared this with me in mind."
Your support helps fund the elements that bind the group together: community-building sessions, collaborative service projects, culturally grounded activities that honor both African and African American heritage, and spaces where girls can talk honestly about their hopes and fears. It also strengthens outreach to families, schools, and local partners so that the shift that begins at retreat does not end when the weekend is over.
Girl Champion Sponsor is our invitation to walk closely alongside one specific girl's story while also strengthening the circle around her. With this level of support, you help cover a full season of mentorship, leadership training, and retreat participation for a girl who might otherwise be watching opportunity from the sidelines.
Your gift helps cover her retreat participation, materials, and access to leadership and mentoring activities that many of her peers take for granted. Across the retreat weekend, she will sit in circles with other girls, learn practical leadership skills, explore college and career readiness, and connect with stories from girls in Ghana who are also stepping into their own power. She will leave with a journal full of reflections, a plan for her next steps, and the knowledge that someone who has never met her believes she is worth this investment.
Your sponsorship helps cover the core leadership development elements that anchor the retreat: trained facilitators, curriculum rooted in real-life decision-making, small-group coaching, and follow-up virtual mentorship that continues after everyone goes home. Girls practice public speaking, vision setting, and problem-solving through activities drawn from our global youth leadership and cultural exchange work with peers in Ghana. They leave with tangible tools-a personal leadership plan, accountability partners, and adults committed to walking with them.
