Academic Support
Our Mission
This program is a toolkit for delivering health and wellness programming to girls 5 – 8th Grades. Facilitators teach a culturally responsive and evidence-based curriculum that focuses on the Wellness of both the Mind and the Body.
Health and Wellness
GAP increases their awareness of the scope and power of the media and the effects of media messages on girls and women. With interactive, hands-on projects and discussions, preconceived notions of who and what girls are, based on ever-present media messages, are dissected and reevaluated.
Social Growth Education
Girls learn about money and the economy, including how to manage, invest, and save money and how to help others through philanthropy.
Money Matters
Girls learn skills and strategies to lead safer lives in their homes, in relationships, in their communities, and online.
Girls learn that they are worthy of respect and freedom from harm. They learn skills and resources to safeguard their physical autonomy from street, domestic and school violence.
Our program offers personalized academic guidance, designed to elevate girls' educational journeys. We believe that a strong educational foundation is essential for future success, and we're committed to empowering girls to achieve their fullest potential.
Communication
Girls build leadership skills and create lasting social change through community action projects. From effective public speaking to cultivating empathy, our program cultivates well-rounded individuals who can confidently engage with their community.

Girls Are P.e.a.r.ls (GAP) Mentoring Program
How It Works
Girls Are Pearls (GAP) Mentoring Program was established in January 2023 after years of planning. GAP is a program sponsored by the Woman Centered 4 Success, Inc.
GAP works in partnership with schools, community-based organizations, and individual girls and their families to deliver the GAP experience. The GAP experience consists of people, an environment, and programming that, together, empower girls to succeed.
Trained staff and volunteers build lasting, mentoring relationships in girls-only spaces that are physically and emotionally safe and where girls find a sisterhood of support with shared drive, mutual respect, and high expectations. Hands-on, research-based programs provide girls with the skills and knowledge to set goals, overcome obstacles, and improve academic performance.
