Testimonials

“

Over the past three years, Gifted Girls have consistently demonstrated an elevated level of professionalism and commitment in their interactions with our students and families. Their ability to effectively engage with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those who have faced racism, social, and economic inequalities, is commendable. This inclusive approach not only fosters a sense of belonging but also empowers these young girls to recognize and unleash their full potential. —

Rylie and Logan joined Gifted Girls through a recommendation from a co-worker. They have been participating since 2021. In the 3 years that they have been participants, my husband and I have seen such significant improvements in Rylie's confidence and assertiveness, especially while interacting with people that she does not know. Logan has begun to display leadership skills at home, extra-curricular activities, and at school. We can honestly attribute these positive changes to their participation in Gifted Girls. —
