What would a parent say about Global Girls?

"I'm so glad my daughter joined Global Girls. She

used to be shy and would always cling to me because

she is the baby in the family.  But now that she's been

in Global Girls, she has joined organizations in school

and is much more lively with her friends.  I've even

taken more risks since I started learning about

the Global Girls way."

 

 From Vanessa McGee, mother of Global Girl Te'Reah Fields

 

“Project 21-20, Not Before 24”

Live a dream before having a baby.

Substantially reducing teen pregnancy is a big goal.  We’re taking it on with 21 teams throughout Illinois, each training 20 CHATT (Change Happens All The Time) peer educators to influence the way our youth think and talk about sexual health, future-oriented lifestyles, family and community.
