Our Impact
Closing the Imagination Gap for Girls
Career Girls opens a world of unlimited possibilities for the next generation of girls. The collective wisdom of hundreds of diverse, accomplished women role models inspires girls to imagine and achieve success on their own terms.
How do we know? We created the Imagination Index to quantitatively measure how girls see themselves differently after engaging with our content.
“We were blown away with the excitement about Career Girls Club. I had anticipated capping the group at 25 students from 4th and 5th grades. We had such a huge response that I recruited more advisors and we have almost 60 girls in our club. Both the students and parents are very enthusiastic about this opportunity.”
“After being in Career Girls Club, I’m different because I know about different jobs and know about teamwork”
“One thing I learned was that I can believe in myself.”
“I am going to never give up, keep on writing, keep on reading, and BE BRAVE.”
“The one thing I learned is that us women/girls can do anything!!!”
“I am now going to be confident on what I am going to be doing for a living when I am older.”
“What I like the most was seeing so many role models who look just like me thrive in careers where they are just as smart and persistent and are just as acclaimed and praised as the men beside them. The role models were just so inspiring.”
“Whenever I come here, I forget about all this negativity, and get filled by positivity and knowledge.”
“I really believe that people are all planted with the seed of I am here to do something great.”
“The women on this channel have taught me three important things: One, that women can do anything, two, never give up and three, we are strong, intelligent and we have the power to change the world by working in the fields that we are passionate about.”
“Organizations like Career Girls are invaluable to provide young women with the resources and the inspiration they need to achieve their goals.”
Measurement and evaluation tools guide our programs.
Career Girls has created the Imagination Index™, an evaluation tool that measures how Career Girls programming shapes the career and leadership aspirations of girls around the world.
The Imagination Index consists of a weighted combination of indicators that provides a quantitative basis for assessing the impact of the Career Girls program on near-term outcomes of girls’ lives, across two dimensions: career and self. The career dimension measures career exploration and goals of girls. The self dimension measures their decision-making abilities, curiosity, and leadership potential.
“It was so fun to see their critical thinking skills and how they worked hard, all together. I just love the program and loved all the thoughts and ideas.”
