Giving Begins at Home

American democracy is about the power of voice. Yet for some, it’s harder to be heard. Such is the case for girls and young women @ the margin.

For change to happen, the powerful voices of young women must ring in our nation’s capitol. Uniquely disadvantaged, surprisingly resilient, we all have something to learn from them – our leaders are no exception.

Your contribution makes it possible for girls and young women @ the margin to share their experiences and perspectives in Washington, DC.

Help us ensure that they are visible and have the opportunity to demonstrate their unlimited potential.

Your contribution will fund things like:

  • $8 … Metro ticket
  • $20 … Cab from National Airport to the Capitol
  • $40 … Round trip train ticket from Baltimore
  • $100 … Bus fare and meals for a young mother & her child from Philadelphia
  • $200 … One night in a hotel
  • $400 … Airfare from Lexington, KY
  • $600 … Airfare from Helena, MT
  • and more...

Action Alliance

Take Action - Join the Alliance

While we know there are already organizations and coalitions that focus on the needs of girls, they tend to focus on specific systems and policy reform efforts such as juvenile justice, child welfare, mental health, education or housing.

Currently, there are no collective initiatives on the national level that reach across disciplines and systems using a holistic perspective to address root causes of the complex issues confronting girls and young women @ the margin. The Girls @ the Margin Action Alliance (G@TM) was conceived to fill this gap.
