At the Virginia Women's Foundation, we believe leadership begins early — and that when girls are equipped with confidence, community, and courage, they thrive.
We are proud to bring our Girls Leadership Circle to Charlottesville in 2026, utilizing the evidence-based Lean In Girls curriculum designed specifically for middle school girls. Grounded in research on confidence and belonging, Lean In Girls helps them build skills in leadership, resilience, teamwork, communication, and self-advocacy — all during the pivotal middle school years when confidence often begins to drop.
Through small-group sessions, interactive activities, and supportive mentorship, participants will:
--Strengthen their confidence and sense of belonging
--Practice leadership and decision-making skills
--Learn how to navigate challenges and setbacks
--Build meaningful friendships and supportive peer networks
We are excited to expand this powerful FREE experience to Charlottesville during April and May.
Middle school girls will meet on Thursday afternoons from 4:30-5:30 starting April 16 thru May 28.
