About the project
Purpose: Little Women Speak! is a hybrid of online and in-person programs offering a public speaking platform designed to grow little women ages 8-13 into future change agents, leaders, and speakers.
Mission and Vision: We seek to activate the voices of little women through virtual coaching, instilling confidence and teaching the art of public speaking.
The Building Blocks Campaign: We are in the infant stage of building a premier multi-site, multi-state organization for young girls. There are key elements aka, “the building blocks” essential to firmly establishing an organization and transitioning to an official multi-site, non-profit entity. The funds and support received will assist in the startup operational costs for 2022.
UPDATE: We are extending "The Building Blocks" campaign to continue the work of laying a sturdy foundation, brick-by-brick through end of year 2022.

Why we‘re doing it
Did you know:
- The confidence of young girls between the ages of 8-13 drops by 30%
- 7 out of 10 report having low self-esteem and low confidence
- Public speaking is among one of the top fears
We are proactive in countering low self-esteem and fear of public speaking by beginning early with a population of young girls ages 8-13! Little Women: Celebrating Unique began as a virtual educational series for young girls during women’s history month each Saturday in March of 2021. It is now the catalyst for Little Women Speak!, an organization with a hybrid design of online and in-person engagement.
