HOW WE ARE MAKING AN IMPACT

Through prevention-based programming and community partnerships, BBBG has:

  • Reached more than 500 girls across Greater Kansas City through elementary, middle, and high school programming and community partnership events.

  • Hosted sessions at Garcia Elementary, Warford Elementary, Center Middle, Hickman Mills Middle, Central High School and Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy.

  • Led transformative sessions at The Walker Foundation’s, Annual HAIRitage Day Events

  • Provided empowerment training for Kansas City Ms. Juneteenth Pageant contestants.

  • In May 2026, BBBG hosted The Village in Action, a community-centered prevention event that brought together more than 100 youth, parents, caring adults, community leaders, and partner organizations for interactive education focused on healthy relationships, communication, self-worth, safety, and family support. By creating dedicated learning experiences for girls, boys, and adults, the event strengthened the village surrounding young people and demonstrated that preventing violence requires shared knowledge, trusted relationships, and collective action.

The ToolBox

  • 1. Laying the Foundation: Building Self-Value and Self-Worth

    Every girl's life is valuable. We help girls recognize their worth, build confidence, and develop a healthy sense of self. By strengthening self-value early, girls become better prepared to make healthy decisions and build positive relationships.

  • 2. Embracing Identity: Loving the Skin They’re In

    Girls learn to embrace who they are—inside and out. We celebrate each girl's culture, individuality, character, talents, and unique strengths, while encouraging girls to value what makes them beautifully different.

  • 3. Building Strength: Resilience, Self-Respect, and Advocacy

    Girls develop confidence, resilience, emotional awareness, and healthy coping skills that help them overcome challenges, establish healthy boundaries, advocate for themselves, and make decisions that align with their values.

  • 4. Creating Connections: Healthy Relationships

    Girls learn to recognize the characteristics of respectful relationships, identify unhealthy behaviors, communicate effectively, and build connections grounded in trust, honesty, and mutual respect. Strong relationships also promote emotional well-being by fostering trust, connection, and a sense of belonging.

  • 5. Building Support: Circles of Trust, Mental, and Physical Wellness

    No girl should navigate life's challenges alone. Girls learn the importance of building trusted support systems while strengthening their mental, emotional, and physical well-being through healthy coping strategies, self-care, positive relationships, and supportive connections. Together, these protective factors help girls build resilience, reduce vulnerability, and thrive.

  • OUTCOME

    Through these five pillars, girls develop the confidence, resilience, and support they need to navigate life's challenges, build healthy relationships, protect their future, and positively impact their families, schools, and communities.
