GEMS is proud to partner with The Skills Center Collaborative to create pathways of empowerment and opportunity for girls in our community. Together, we’re building programs that teach leadership, creativity, and entrepreneurship in meaningful, hands-on ways. From initiatives like the Transitions Candle Shop, where girls learn the business of candle making, to workshops that explore communication, confidence, and self-discovery, this collaboration is designed to help young women realize their full potential.

​

Through The Skills Center Collaborative, GEMS participants gain access to mentorship, real-world training, and career development experiences that prepare them for success in school, work, and life. Our shared goal is to create a safe, inspiring space where girls can grow, dream big, and develop the tools they need to become leaders in their communities.

​

You can play an important role in sustaining this mission by joining the GEMS’ Crown Society—a special group of recurring supporters who invest in the ongoing growth and impact of our programs. Members of the Crown Society help make it possible for GEMS to offer free and affordable opportunities that transform lives. Together, we’re lighting the way for girls to lead with confidence, purpose, and heart.​​​
