GEM (Girls’ Empowerment Mission) is a Living Classrooms program that empowers high school girls who lack access to support, resources, and opportunities by providing growth experiences that enable them to become confident, independent, and self-sufficient young women.

With the support of GEM, 98% of GEM graduates enter college or technical school after high school, and more than 80% of GEM graduates were the first in their families to go to college. Research shows that when you invest in the education of a girl, you change the path for not only her but for future generations.

A generous donor will make a dollar-for-dollar match to any gifts made towards our scholarship fund, up to $100,000. Please donate and help GEM girls achieve their college dreams!
