You Grow Girl!

“You Grow Girl! is a nonprofit organization serving female-identifying youth and families throughout Washington state. Founded in 2002 by the Executive Director and former dependent of the foster care & juvenile court systems, Jamila L. Coleman. Over 15 years later, the work at You Grow Girl! has evolved and is rooted in the deep belief that girls from chronically under-resourced populations, especially girls of color, must be accepted for their authentic selves and supported by a community of true allies that amplifies gender, economic, and racial justice. You Grow Girl! empowers youth to become leaders to promote economic equity and opportunity for not only themselves but other sisters throughout Washington State, and beyond.” Behavioral health programs include case management, individual and family counseling, support groups and wraparound services.”
