Our Mission - Teen Initiative

The Teen Initiative of Women Who Win focuses on celebrating and amplifying the voices of young women (ages 13 to 19) from all backgrounds. We are excited to extend our platform to incorporate unique stories of resilience and perseverance from ambitious young girls.

Join us in creating an inclusive safe space where all young voices are heard, valued, celebrated and empowered, so we can foster a community of unity and acceptance, encouraging young girls to embrace their individuality and reach their full potential.

Whether you are a teen athlete, dedicated dancer, young social innovator, or an aspiring scientist, we hope every teen finds a story they can relate to on our platform! Let’s celebrate “Girls Who Win”!
