Overview
Mission
Girls empowerment network's mission is to ignite the power in girls by teaching them the skills to thrive and believe in their ability to be unstoppable.
What it reported doing in 2024
Radiant g programming (including adult & allies services): radiant g circles in schools consist of self-efficacy building groups for girls in grades 3-12 that meet weekly for the delivery of radiant g curriculum modules. Genaustins staff customizes a group format that meets the unique needs of the girls at each specific campus. School staff can elect to have recruitment-based programming open to any girl who would like to participate or alternately, genaustins staff works with them to identify girls who are most in need of support services. School counselors and administrators frequently refer girls who have difficulty building healthy relationships or regulating their emotions, truancy, fighting, self-harm, anxiety, involvement with the juvenile justice system, etc. Radiant g circles utilizes the self-efficacy building radiant g curriculum and has been shown to increase girls self-efficacy at statistically significant levels. Radiant g circles can also be facilitated at community centers or in the form of one-time workshops and assemblies. Genaustin also adapts this program to serve girls who are living in detention facilities through a partnership with juvenile probations entities. Lastly, radiant g conferences are statewide, multi-city events designed especially for thousands of girls in grades 3-8 and the people who care about them; where the curriculum comes to life with the largest number of people in one day genaustin offers a variety of parent/guardian workshops, corporate partner engagement sessions, educator professional development, and other adult educational presentations and interactive meetings. These workshops cover many of the same topics as our radiant g curriculum for girls, with the spin of being relevant for allies who may not share lived experiences with girls. The hope is to expand the network to include as many allies and adults as possible who help girls believe in themselves it is important that community members of all types learn more about our mission and participate in trainings and activities to help support the girls in their lives.
