We are committed to research that is grounded in the lived experiences of girls and young women.

The Policy Center conducts primary research studies, secondary data analyses, and monitors local, statewide, and national data trends through a girl-centered and racial equity lens.

We use our research to help communities better understand the issues affecting girls and policymakers understand changes needed to improve girls’ wellbeing and future opportunities.
