😍EXCITING NEWS😍

Our Next Era Girls program (for girls ages 9-12) has been invited back to Juneau, Alaska for the THIRD time!

The Principal at MRCS Elementary loved 🩵what we brought to the classroom so much, he asked us to come twice a year, every fall and every spring.

🥰The girls said, "Don't leave,” “Next Era Girls Rocks,” “You saved me,” “Every girl needs Next Era Girls.”🤩

🎉We are also working on expanding our reach in Alaska and Washington State (more on that later!).

To make it all happen, we have created our Next Era Girls WORTHY Wish List, and here is how you can help.

Two ways to GIVE: Scan the QR code, by mail or GIVEBUTTER link in comments below.🙂

And…if you have a girl in your life you 😘LOVE, please consider becoming one of our recurring Impact Collective donors at just $35/month in her honor.

🔥Every gift sparks a girl's next era.🔥 Thank you!

🩷For the past three years, our Next Era Girls program has been built through thousands of volunteer hours, community support, and a deep belief that girls deserve to know they are worthy, 🔥that there is a leader in them, and their dreams are in their hearts for a reason.

Thank you ❤️to everyone who has shown generosity toward us and believed in this work. As we grow, we are focused on first-class programs, meaningful partnerships, and steady funding so we can continue reaching more girls in meaningful and impactful ways.

😍FUN FACT: The Principal at a school in Alaska has invited us back for the third time, and we can’t wait to invest in their girls this fall.

Building this with you.

DID YOU KNOW❓❓

👉It is Interesting that RESEARCH shows us that girls in 5th and 6th grade experience the largest confidence drops of any age group, and most anxiety disorders 😞 begin between ages 11 and 13. From Alaska to Washington State, this is a short window.

❤️Everything we teach in our Next Era Girls program (ages 9-12) is built on one foundation…WORTHY.

WORTHY meets her where trauma has told her she is not good enough. When a tween girl truly believes she is worthy, she becomes the leader of her own life showing herself kindness and respect with grace sprinkled in.

📍She sees something beautiful and doesn't feel less than.
📍She sees something aspirational and doesn't feel left behind.
📍She puts the phone down and still feels like herself.
📍She doesn't feel the need to bully someone else.

WORTHY becomes her North Star.✨

We are so excited to be going back to Juneau, Alaska this fall, where the principal told us: "Your impact is truly making a difference." 💙

Tag a tween mom or grandma who has a girl in their life they 🥰love.

BEFORE THE WORLD DEFINES HER

The world will try to tell her she has to earn her worth. Next Era Girls exists to tell her she innately has it.

If this resonates with the kind of world you want for the girls you love, share this with a mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, friend, teacher, or mentor who has a girl in her life worth celebrating. 🌸

To every woman who has struggled with self-doubt and not feeling good enough or worthy…this one is for you.

Why❓ Because behind this nonprofit is not a perfect story. It's a real one.

SELF-DOUBT held me back for years.

Comparison's voice... loud in my head. The thought of speaking in front of people? Terrifying. Wondering if I even belonged in the room. Not feeling WORTHY or "Good enough" was something I carried alone.

And then my husband Steve asked me, "Why wouldn't you do this❓"

That question changed everything.

Stepping outside my comfort zone at age 36 led to Mrs. Alaska 1998 👑, not because I had it all together, but because leading myself through the fear mattered more than holding myself back.

35 years later a dream birthed Next Era Girls.

🔥Because real leadership starts on the inside. With knowing you are innately WORTHY, even when you don't feel good enough.🔥

That is what we teach girls ages 9–12, as we become her ✨North Star.

Because the girl who learns that early, it can change everything.

Would LOVE 🩷 for you to share this with a woman who needs this today as you never know whose heart is waiting to hear it.

WORTH is inherent, not earned.

Some programs build confidence through what girls can do. Our Next Era Girls program builds something deeper...who they are.

This work is so meaningful as we don’t just help girls gain confidence; we help them know their worth is already there.
