Why make a donation?

GirlStrength and WomenStrength volunteer instructors complete 128 hours of training to become qualified to teach empowerment self-defense and violence prevention skills. When they complete this training, the candidates obtain instructor status and are required to teach full-time for one year-100 hours! Many of our volunteers continue to teach and have been teaching for over five years. In many ways, volunteering for GirlStrength or WomenStrength is similar to a paid position. Volunteer instructors must be reliable, responsible and exceptional role models, which is why it is imperative for these programs to provide incentives and show volunteer appreciation.

Our volunteers are dedicated to reducing violence in our communities and empowering girls and women to be strong and confident. Since 2008, GirlStrength instructors have trained and educated approximately 6,500 youth, ages 10-17, who identify or whose gender expression is female. Since 1979, WomenStrength instructors have provided free self-defense classes to approximately 30,000 women and teenage girls, and personal safety workshops to over 110,000 women and men.

All donations are used to support the training, recruitment, appreciation and longevity of our volunteer instructors.
