GTTB Young Queen Scholarship Fund
Girl Talk, Talk Back creates a judgement free environment for girls to talk about their concerns, insecurities and differences. We understand that a lot of girls within the age range of 9-17 are dealing with self-esteem issues, bullying and trying to "fit in". These issues can result in eating disorders, depression, and even suicide. Our goal is to stop these issues before they start but also be a resource for those who are actually experiencing any of those situations. With a full support system and strong relationships, we are striving to build a resilient group of young women who are equipped with the proper resources and confidence to handle these problems effectively. We create an outlet for girls to express themselves and work together to create positive social change. 
Our weekly GTTB sessions establish peer to peer relationships, build confidence, and uplift our girls to make positive changes within their life and community. In these meetings we discuss real life issues within our own communities, in school and in the world. The girls have open dialogue while encouraging each other, devising plans and solutions, and being a support system for one another. GTTB encourages self-love, building strong relationships, and working together to make a difference.
Aside from meeting weekly GTTB participates in a variety of different activities, takes trips, and takes advantage of volunteer and community service opportunities. They also participate in workshops and classes for personal development.
GTTB takes a serious approach to academic success. We reward and recognize those who make their education a top priority. Report cards and progress reports are monitored and GTTB works collectively with our girls and their families to focus on academic achievement. We require all members of GTTB to take their education seriously.
GTTB also puts focus on entrepreneurship. While some of our members already have their own businesses, we encourage those who are interested in being business owners to take the steps to get there. Every girl in our program has their own personal talent and we make sure it has its' opportunity to shine!
GTTB is a voluntary association with the goal of becoming a 501c3. We are looking for sponsors to help fund some of our programs as we are currently self funded and rely on fundraising an minimal monthly dues to keep the program going.
Sponsoring the program will give us the opportunity to provide a longstanding program that will truly make a difference!
