Her Potential is Limitless.

Her Access is Not.

Where she lives should not determine how far she goes.

But for too many young women in low-income communities, lack of access to mentorship, financial literacy, and leadership development creates lasting disparities in academic achievement, career readiness, and economic mobility.

We close that gap.

A Teen From Union County Won $2,500 To Better Her Community

A teen from Elizabeth is inspiring others, winning a competition amongst dozens of other teens whose mission is to better serve the community.

During the annual BeYOUtifull Girls Empowerment Conference in November, girls ages 10-18 from Union County were surveyed on how they feel about the state of their community. At the end of the survey, they were able to submit a video pitching a local community project. The campaign received 42 submissions based on the question: “What would you do to improve your community if given $2,500?”

Sarah Ali’s idea, which won the competition, suggested an event at a local park with a food truck to distribute free food and hygiene bags to unhoused individuals of Elizabeth. The 17-year-old student from Hillcrest Academy South in Elizabeth addressed important community needs such as hunger, hygiene and improving public spaces.
