girls unbossed dc

Girls Unbossed is a segment of Youth Unbound programming focused on providing 4th and 5th grade girls with representative career exploration, leadership training and mentorship from college women who look and dream just like them. Established in Spring of 2024, our founder, Aicha, has dedicated our organization to continue this work and ensure a pipeline of involvement from our participants even past their elementary school graduation. Our girls come back as sixth graders to mentor the younger classes, and as guest speakers in high school/college. With the support of our program, we truly are encouraging and producing young women who are the bosses of their schools, careers, teams, and dreams. 

how can my daughter participate?

We are currently based at Amidon Bowen Elementary School in Southwest, DC. Until we are established in your school or neighborhood, your daughter can take advantage of our online resources and social media. If you are interested in helping us expand or have any collaboration ideas, please contact us!
