The title of my blog says it all. Women Making Moves is dedicated to showcasing women and organizations doing positive things for other women. When I began my mission of providing a space to highlight women, I didn't realize the number of organizations who were committed to doing the same. WMM has featured women-focused organizations such as Give 'N Take, the StepUp Women's Network, Girls Write Now and a number of other outstanding groups. This post recognizes Girls for Gender Equity whose mission includes creating opportunities for women and girls to lead self-determined lives. GGE believes that improving the physical, psychological, social and economic environment of women and girls will ensure their lives are successful.I'm a believer of GGE's mission. I do my part as a mentor for high-school girls throughout the academic school year. The opportunity to positively impact the lives of others is a goal that we should all aspire to accomplish. GGE offers programs that implement health and fitness initiatives, mobilize youth to provide change in their communities and run an urban leadership academy.
It amazes me that so many individuals and organizations what to leave a footprint on women and girls to ensure they lead productive lives. Of course these organizations can not accomplish these goals without the help of volunteers and donors, especially considering these tough economic times. I encourage you to make a donation this holiday season to a program that supports other women. This gift will go farther than any item that can be purchased in a store. If you are interested in donating to the Girls for Gender Equity, visit their website to find out various ways to show your support.

Thanks for sharing information about Girls for Gender Equity as well as the others you named in this post. The fact that so many organizations are out there, including yourself, trying to instill a positive spotlight on women young and old is a testament to the fact that even though we've made many strides, there is still work to do.
Highlighting women and the marks they leave on the world, is a great passion of mine. Thanks for your continued support of Women Making Moves!
