She Speaks helps girls and gender-expansive youth find their authentic voice and share their ideas boldly — building real confidence through the power of public speaking.
every girl deserves to be heard
She Speaks is a new, all-female-founded nonprofit tackling the confidence gap that can quiet girls in their tween and teen years. Through practice, encouragement, and community, students learn to speak up with clarity and conviction — in class, in interviews, and in life.

The best measure of She Speaks is what students say about it.
It is a fun experience and a great way to learn and overcome challenges that we frequently come across.
