In 2023, Girls with Grit evolved from a nonprofit into a professional networking and social group for our current and past awardees, mentors, and volunteers.
COVID-19 made certain things clear to us. We realized it was impossible to sustain our organization as a volunteer-run organization. Instead, we shifted our priority to fostering and maintaining our existing community while also supporting future cohorts of girls with grit through our chosen partner, Heights Philadelphia (formerly Philadelphia Futures).
