About super 7 girls
Super 7 girls mission is simple - we help girls from under-resourced communities of color have superpowers (you read that right!)Now, when we talk about superpowers we don’t mean that in the metaphysical senseWhen we discuss superpowers we are discussing a certain mindsetBy helping girls build various skill sets that they need, they will feel emboldened, confident, smarter and…yep, you got it…superpoweredThey will know that there is nothing that they are unable to conquer and that no challenge is too great.
So, you must be curious?!? how does one go about giving superpowers? we know that superpowers grow from consistent access to curriculum that focuses on education, health, financial literacy, policy, arts, leadership development, and global engagement and this consistent access helps the girls have a deep understanding of how their increased knowledge means a stronger ability to take on life’s challengesWe also know that their increased knowledge base disrupts the cycle of generational poverty and transforms the life outcomes and trajectories of the girls in our programIn essence, their superpowers enhance their overall well-being and helps them dream new dreams.
As you can see, we have big, hairy, audacious goals and we need bold volunteers to act as role models of this superpower mindset – visionary, courageous, confident, determined and reflectiveOur environment is fast-paced and dynamic and volunteers are valued highlyWith that said, what makes our culture amazing is that everyone is willing to help with any task because we are all working towards the goal of helping these girls be amazing superpowered individuals.
