Every Girl Deserves to See the Light Within Herself…
IN 2024, 425 GIRLS LOST THEIR LIVES TO SUICIDE.
425 girls. 425 stories.
425 reasons to light her way.
Behind that number are 425 daughters, sisters, friends, classmates, and young women whose lives held immense value.
And countless more girls are struggling quietly with loneliness, hopelessness, and the feeling that they are not enough.
THE CRISIS OF SELF-WORTH IS REAL. BUT SO IS HOPE.
She shouldn't have to find her way alone.
At Girl Talk, we believe girls need women who are equipped to walk beside them.
That's why we invest in Girl Talk Ambassadors— women who receive the formation, mental health training, mentorship, and practical tools to become compassionate, confident leaders for the next generation.
Your gift helps equip her to light the way for someone else.
Every year, young women step forward to become Girl Talk Ambassadors — ready to grow, lead, and serve the girls who come after them.
They bring their own experiences, questions, struggles, and strengths. Through Girl Talk, they are given the formation and support to turn those experiences into a source of compassion and leadership.
Meet the women who are choosing to light the way.
