Power To Girls Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports and empowers Black and marginalized  girls in the Greater Toronto Area and Ghana. We are dedicated to providing positive mentorship programs, community interaction and recreational activities that inspire self-confidence, build self-esteem, friendships, nutritional health, and integrity in the hearts of all our girls. 

The purpose of our foundation is to help young girls discover their individual identity, and creative gifts by developing qualities that will help them become leaders and contributing members of society. Power to Girls Foundation makes learning about life challenges a fun, informative and fulfilling experience for the girls involved.

Our Differentiator

We are dedicated to forming real in-depth relationships with the girls that come through our program by implementing a relationship based approach to mentoring and building mutually beneficial human connections.

We are among the few organizations focused on the growth and empowerment of Black and marginalized girls. We believe giving girls of colour this platform will aid in their overall well-being and will give them an outlet to voice out issues that directly impact them.

We are led by youth and individuals that are directly impacted by the issues that Power to Girls aims to eradicate.
