About Us
WHO IS GIRL ABOVE?
Girl Above is a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to empowering and equipping girls to live authentically and confidently. We walk alongside them in their stories and help guide them toward restoration, transformation, and leadership.
Girl Above has a deep passion to challenge current culture and its effects on the growing number of young women that struggle with depression, insecurity, anxiety, loneliness, bullying, and misplaced identity. Through education, discussion, and shared experiences, we equip them to embrace their life’s journey with grace, character, and confidence.
LIVE OUT THE VISION
Combining mental health and faith-based perspectives, Girl Above gathers, equips and unleashes young women to transform their communities. By creating tools and resources, we bridge the gap between cultural messages and gospel messaging.
Our Values
Gospel
The gospel is the single root element of all Girl Above teachings. It is the one element that redeems lost souls and anchors individuals into their identity in Christ.


Story
Stories have tangible power to connect individuals and change lives through the vulnerability and perspective of a testimony.
Community
A community dramatically influences an individual. Girl Above wants to create a community on both a global and local level that acts as a safe place for our girls to be taught, encouraged, and loved.


Action
Girl Above inspires and equips young women to use their wisdom and God-given gifts to change their communities and social circles as a result of passion, vision, and a commitment to living a counter-cultural life.
