Thanks to your continued generosity, Career Girls is reaching more girls, opening doors to new career possibilities, and helping the next generation imagine futures without limits.
We are thrilled to share that we have doubled the number of schools participating in Career Girls Clubs for the 2026–2027 school year! This expansion means more girls will have access to our free, 20-week program, where they discover exciting careers, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and connect what they learn in school to their future possibilities.
This growth builds on an extraordinary year. Last school year, 338 girls completed Career Girls Clubs, more than twice the previous year's number. Now, with twice as many schools participating, we are creating opportunities for nearly 1,000 girls to discover their strengths and begin imagining what they can become.
Our digital resources complement the deeper learning and mentorship experiences girls receive in schools, helping us reach 7 million learners a year while bringing Career Girls Clubs to more communities.
We're also opening doors to an exciting new world of careers: Health Services!
Over the past quarter, our team developed an entirely new curriculum area focused on Health Services, featuring interviews with 10 inspiring new women role models. From exploring different healthcare professions to learning about the skills and education needed to pursue them, girls will soon have even more opportunities to see women succeeding in careers that make a difference in people's lives.
These new resources will launch on our expanding digital platform in the coming months, making them available not only to Career Girls Club participants but also to girls, families, and educators who explore careers through CareerGirls.org.
As we celebrate 15 years of Closing the Imagination Gap™, we're reminded that every new school, every new role model, and every new career explored can change the way a girl sees her future.
Your support makes this possible. And with more than 100 educators waiting for funding to bring Career Girls Clubs to their schools, there is so much more we can accomplish together.
Thank you for believing in girls and helping them discover that their futures are full of possibility.
With gratitude,
