Every day, girls at Girls Inc. NSV demonstrate courage—whether speaking up for themselves, trying a new skill, or helping a peer. These moments of bravery, big and small, shape confident, resilient young women who are ready to lead.

By sharing stories of girls who have taken risks, explored new opportunities, and supported their communities, we inspire others to embrace courage in their own lives. These experiences not only strengthen confidence, but also teach empathy, problem-solving, and leadership.

How Families & Mentors Can Support Moments of Courage

• Celebrate bravery. Acknowledge when she tries something new or takes initiative.

• Encourage risk-taking. Support safe opportunities for growth, even if success isn’t guaranteed.

• Reflect on lessons learned. Discuss what she discovered about herself or others.

• Model courage. Share your own experiences of stepping outside comfort zones.
