Our Impact

100% of the mentees that have completed the BLACK GIRLS ROCK! program have gone on to college.

"CONGRATULATIONS to my baby, BGR senior Victoria for being accepted to Seton Hall University. Thank you Jesus for the acceptance and related scholarships! And thank you Beverly for all the support and special senior seminars. I recommend all black girls who rock to get involved with BGR and make plans for your future" - Victoria did! - Victor

100% of Queen Campers agree that the summer camp enabled them to develop and practice leadership skills.

"After attending Black Girls Rock! Queens Camp I've been inspired to not only better myself but my community and peers by setting a good example. Good enough no longer satisfies me, as a black girl who rocks, I've dedicated my life to exceeding the expectations of others. I am smarter, stronger, and I rock harder. This has changed my life and my perspective, the world seems so much bigger!" - Travia.

100% of mentees that participated the BLACK GIRLS ROCK Empowerment Circle reported an increased understanding on the importance of global sisterhood and social relationships.

"Honestly, it is such a rewarding experience because there are two aspects of it. There is a bonding and sisterhood instilled within us. Therefore, it helps you emotionally and encourages you to be yourself. I wish everyone could get an experience like this — it would be a much more enlightened world." - Samantha
