WHAT IS GIRLUP?

What GirlUp focuses on is encouraging and empowering young girls in our Clubs to prepare for the transition from being Great Girls to Great Women.

GirlUp recognizes and builds awareness around the experiences that Boys & Girls Clubs is providing to young women so that they leave the Club as innovators, leaders and doers.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay will be celebrating 35 years of service to young ladies this year by highlighting the many programs and services that help them achieve goals, overcome hurdles and BE GREAT
