OUR INITIATIVES TO EMPOWER

Project Girl Undefined is an organization that is changing and shaping the lives of young women. The work we do here is aimed at providing a holistic approach to solving some of our society’s biggest challenges regarding the accessibility of higher education for young women in all academic fields. We support all types of education including those in the arts and sciences. We believe that girls should not be defined by societal expectations based on financial or social circumstances, but rather, who they learn to be by their experience of empowering themselves through education.

Programs: What We Do

INSPIRE HER

Exposing Excellence to the Next Generation

With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with this challenge. Girls will never know what is out there unless someone exposes them to the endless possibilities for their future.

SERVE HER

Providing Resources, Scholarships, and Support

At Project Girl Undefined, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. Our Serve HER initiative is by no means an easy feat, but through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can facilitate progress in this area by supporting the empowerment of girls through scholarship and resources. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to donate to our scholarship fund to Serve HER on her journey of educational empowerment.

NURTURE HER

Be Who You Needed When You Were Younger

With this initiative, our goal is to provide lifestyle support for girls. With access to the right resources and mentors, girls can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. Project Girl Undefined is currently working with Girls Hope Pittsburgh to enforce this initiative.
