Who We Are
GIRLS OF THE WORLD INC. is a non-profit organization that provides young ladies with life skills and mentoring services. Our program helps young ladies realize their full potential and abilities to express their talents, develop a positive sense of identity and self-worth, and become better versions of themselves.
Our History
Founded in 2009, we were first implemented in the Pasco Country Girls Juvenile Detention Center. During this time, we worked with the young ladies to help them realize that their current circumstances do not define who they are. Through our initiatives, the young ladies overcame negative objections, built their confidence, and set professional goals so they could live rewarding lives. After seeing how we changed so many lives in Pasco County, we wanted to spread that inspiration to the inner city where our founder grew up. In 2013, we relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, to start a program in the inner city at the Glenville Recreation Center. Two years later, we returned to Tampa, Florida, and began working with six young ladies who attended the local high school. Those six quickly grew to twelve. All those girls now attend college or are active in the military. The young ladies from the Cleveland chapter are now working moms.
In 2022, we moved into our first brick-and-mortar in Apollo Beach, Florida. We've been featured on the news three times and had eight newspaper articles written about us. We've received the 2024 Queen of Hearts Community Award from the Tampa Alumni Chapter of Delta Sigma, Theta Sorority Inc., in honor of our educational development.
Over the past 10 years, we have had the privilege of mentoring over 200 girls, guiding them towards success, and empowering them to achieve their dreams. As we look to the future, we are committed to expanding our reach and making an even more significant impact on more lives. We are excited to continue this journey and support even more young women realizing their full potential.
