WHAT WE DO

OUR MISSION

JUST Girls World is a summer day camp program for middle school girls that want to learn, lead, and leverage their experiences to have greater social impact.

Our programming is equitable, intentional, and research-based designed to develop leadership skills, strengthen information literacy, and build self-confidence.

JUST Girls World is more than a camp. It's a commitment to girls to make a difference for themselves, others, and the world. Participants will further develop into global citizens using the United Nations' sustainable goals framework and participating in active community involvement.

Most importantly, JUST Girls World Program is alive, engaging, vibrant, and transformative. Girls will discover a stronger sense of self and connections with others as they learn about causes they care about and take action to make the world a better place.

OUR PROGRAMS

Our programs are inspirational and transformational. We focus on teaching students about world issues as defined by the United Nations in connection with community partners.

Each of our four programs is a one-week highly engaging experience about the issues that students care about such as World Hunger, Environment, Poverty, and Human Equity. The camp experience also includes opportunities for students to take part in mindfulness, financial wellness, and art activism courses.

JUST Girls World is more than summer camp. It’s a commitment to helping girls make a difference for themselves, others and the world. Each of the four programs culminates in a public event for friends, family, community business leaders, and local politicians.

Program 1: Discovery: ‘Who am I ? And what do I care about?’

Small groups take part in discovery workshops about each of the causes throughout the program event. Additionally, students participate in activities that help them to understand how to become a leader for change.

The two-week term culminates in a movement performance for the community that demonstrates the problem and the solution.

Program 2: Research and Development: ‘I am empowered through knowledge to do good.’

Groups spend time with experts in the fields they care about and participate in specialized presentations and Q and A sessions.

This program focuses on information literacy, presentation skills, and the creation of Social Justice Presentation Boards. Students additionally take part in mindfulness workshops, financial literacy courses, and art activism. The two-week term culminates with a Night of Social Justice where the community is invited, and students present their research boards.

Program 3: Action: ‘We can make a difference’

Teams partner with a service site which becomes their supporting agency. Program directors meet with the team to discuss the needs of the agency.

The group creates an outreach project to support that agency: when, where, and how. They also develop a marketing and execution plan. This program includes classes on college financial aid, essay writing and navigating the college process.

Program 4: Immerse: ‘A movement starts with me but doesn’t end there’

Students will fully immerse in an internship/ volunteerism at the site of their choice that supports their cause.

Program participants create a capstone presentation of the experience which will be presented to parents and community members at a social justice capstone presentation event.
