In today’s rapidly evolving world, preparing young girls with the tools to become strong, smart, and bold leaders is more crucial than ever. At Girls Inc. of Chattanooga, we’re committed to nurturing the next generation of female trailblazers.

The Leadership Gap: A Startling Reality 

Despite progress, women remain less visible in leadership positions: 

• Only 8.2% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women (2023 data) 
• Women hold just 27% of seats in the U.S. Congress (2023 data) 
• In STEM fields, women make up only 28% of the workforce (2022 data) 

These statistics underscore the urgent need to equip girls with the skills, confidence, and opportunities to shatter glass ceilings. 

Investing in girls’ leadership development yields long-term societal benefits: 

• Companies with expanded identity executive teams are 25% more likely to outperform their peers financially
• Increasing women’s leadership could add $12 trillion to global GDP by 2025
