What if the most marginalized youth in your community felt like they belonged? What if these youth felt seen, valued, and celebrated by both peers and adults, and not only participated but thrived while learning about themselves and their relationships? Girls Leadership’s free professional development webinar starts your journey to that future. We provide the teaching approach and curriculum to connect with all students. When you’re connected, you can teach them to build healthy relationships with each other, and they gain the confidence, skills, and ability to make change in the world.
Participants reported gaining both practical tools and greater confidence from our trainings. One participant shared, “I showed up to empower my girls, and I am leaving understanding that this is what I needed for me.”
In this free professional development webinar, Girls Leadership will reveal how we help professionals examine their own relationship with social-emotional skills to effectively model strategies for youth, engage in culturally responsive mindsets and practices, and understand trauma/trauma responses to create a healing-centered environment. Who doesn’t need that right now?

This 90-minute webinar will guide you through the following questions:
- What is healing-centered engagement, and what does it look like in practice?
- What is the relationship between social-emotional learning, leadership, and bias? How does that relationship impact girls and gender expansive youth, especially girls and youth of color?
- What is Girls Leadership’s latest research on the leadership of Black and Latinx girls, and what is being done to better understand the leadership of Asian American and Pacific Islander girls?
Testimonials:
“This was extremely thought-provoking and has really made me think about how I will interact with black and latinx girls in the future. The workshop also helped me understand different types of bias and to be aware of my own blindspots.”
“The push has been all around trauma informed care (it is a buzzword). To think about extending it and considering healing-centered is eye opening.”
