If you are or were a girl or young woman @ the margin, share the challenges you face or overcame; what or who made the biggest difference in your life; what helped, or can help, you to succeed; and your greatest hopes and fears.

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.
