Welcome to Girls Too!, a special space within Connected Woman Magazine created to celebrate, encourage, and empower the next generation of young women.
While Connected Woman Magazine proudly shares the stories of women from all walks of life, we also recognize that greatness often begins long before adulthood. Across communities, schools, neighborhoods, and countries around the world, young girls are making an incredible impact through leadership, creativity, entrepreneurship, academics, advocacy, sports, community service, and innovation. Their voices matter, their dreams matter, and their stories deserve to be told.
Girls Too! shines a spotlight on young girls who are doing amazing things, proving that age is never a limitation when passion, purpose, and determination are involved. Here, you’ll discover inspiring features highlighting young changemakers, trailblazers, creators, and future leaders who are already making a difference in their communities and beyond.
This page also recognizes the organizations, programs, mentors, and founders who have dedicated their time and resources to uplifting and empowering girls. From leadership initiatives and educational programs to mentorship opportunities and community outreach efforts, we celebrate those working tirelessly to help young girls thrive.
In addition, Girls Too! serves as a growing resource hub featuring organizations, videos, educational tools, scholarships, leadership opportunities, and other valuable resources designed to support girls as they discover their talents, build confidence, and pursue their goals.
Whether you’re a young girl looking for inspiration, a parent seeking resources, an educator supporting future leaders, or an organization dedicated to empowering girls, we invite you to explore, connect, and grow with us.
Because at Connected Woman Magazine, we believe that empowerment doesn’t begin when a girl becomes a woman—it begins the moment she realizes her voice has value, her dreams are possible, and her future is bright.
The girls are watching. The girls are learning. The girls are leading. And we’re celebrating them, too.
Always remember, you are braver than you believe, stronger than you think, and loved more than you know. – A A Milne
