Divine Girls Coalition (DGC) nurtures confident, purpose-driven young women by creating safe, joyful, and challenging spaces for African American girls ages 11–19. We believe brilliance is universal, opportunity is not—so we close exposure gaps, expand possibilities, and build sisterhood. Through summits, camps, and culture-rich trips, girls practice healthy self-talk, leadership, communication, boundaries, and restorative problem-solving. We pair encouragement with practical tools, peer circles, mentors, and check-ins to strengthen well-being. Our work rests on five commitments: belonging with accountability; voice and vision; identity and agency; well-being and resilience; and faith-informed, community-rooted care. We convert hope into habits—goal setting, tracking, and reflection—so momentum sticks. Impact shows up in confidence, persistence, and readiness for college, careers, entrepreneurship, service, and leadership. We stand in the gap and build pathways—because when girls thrive, communities rise!
