Participants demonstrated growing academic and leadership skills through consistent attendance, on-time homework completion, in-class participation, and engagement in career explorations. Participants demonstrated at least a 50% decrease in unexcused absences, suspension rates and tardies, a long-term increase in academic Grade Point Average by 50% and an increase in graduation rates for participants in the project for 2 years or more.

In the Community:

Girls learned how to assume leadership roles in school and the local community. Participants designed and implemented service-learning projects during the service-learning component where participants chose what community organization to partner with in developing their Service-Learning projects.

In Life and the Future:

Girls in Action™ participants were found to be twice as likely to attend college compared with girls that were not involved in the project. By connecting the girls with supportive and professional women leaders, they made more positive decisions in school and in life, and learned how to develop healthy friendships while avoiding negative relationships.
