Empowering Teen Girls Globally

Dear friend, 

It’s incredible what can happen in a year. Looking back to where I was a year ago, it sometimes feels unreal to imagine all that has come and gone, the unexpected changes, and the magical little moments that are just now unfolding. Where were you a year ago today?

Similarly, when I look back at how much She is the Universe has changed in a year, I’m speechless. We’ve exponentially grown our team and our community of mentors, we’ve created and launched a new program across 58 countries, provided 400+ opportunities to girls, mentored a group of 113 new girls, and been a foundation of confidence and empowerment for hundreds. But we haven’t done this alone - we have had a whole community behind it - of team members, board members, volunteers, mentors, donors, supporters, and cheerleaders. 

I know this year hasn’t always been easy. There have been so many moments where I have felt defeated by the world- the constant wars, climate challenges, environmental catastrophes, the lack of humanity we see in the news. It’s hard to keep going when hope feels like a restless bird, always trying to fly away. 

In these moments, I think of you and people like you who give generously. You are the hope that keeps us going. 

Hope is in the vision of a world where every girl can be anyone she wants to be. Hope is a world with less barriers to cross, less glass ceilings to break. Hope is in the community we create. Hope is a reminder that we are not alone. That we are all in this together.

As this year comes to an end, and we say goodbye to 2024, I want to thank you and celebrate how far we have come. Because of you, young women are dreaming bigger, breaking barriers, and stepping into their power as leaders—not just of tomorrow, but today.

So thank you for your support, your generosity, and the hope you give us and so many others around the world. 

Wishing you a wonderful 2025!

With love, 

Sara and the She is the Universe team
