Start something powerful.
SheLeads Clubs are fun, free, student-led spaces where young women build real leadership skills, boost their confidence, and get ready for college, careers, and life — with everything provided by Girls With Impact.
You and your friends run it.
Grab a teacher or counselor to sign on as facilitator, pick your first session, and you are a club captain. We handle the rest.
Apply as a student →One room, one facilitator.
No budget line, no new hire, no curriculum to write. Give us a time and a staff sponsor and students do the leading.
Bring SheLeads to your site →Leadership you practice, not just study.
Lead for real
Run meetings, make decisions, set the agenda — the practice that builds actual confidence.
Prep for what's next
College apps, internships, first jobs — and something real to point to on all three.
Grow with purpose
Sessions on money, communication, and career paths that shape decisions you make now.
Connect nationally
Join thousands of driven young women, mentors, and alumni inside GWI Connect.
30+ topics across four themes — run them in any order.
Clubs choose what fits the moment. Every session stands alone — 60 minutes with a leader guide, activity guide, and slides — and the library keeps growing.

A short walkthrough of how clubs run, what students do in a session, and what GWI provides — everything you need before you apply.
Three pieces. That's the whole setup.
Adult facilitator
A teacher, counselor, or staff member who supports club organization and promotion. Light lift — students drive the meetings.
Club captain
A student leader trained by GWI to run the club, guide discussions, and keep the vibe strong.
Ready-to-go materials
