Blair Brettschneider organization serves refugees girls in order to help their integration into the states much easier. The creation of this program allows fellow girl refugees to have a network to share their experience with each other. This program gives them access to mentor-ship,educational programs, leadership opportunities, and planned actives. These planned activities are centered around what GirlsForward call the four W's which are Wallet (money management), Wellness (health and hygiene), World (cross-cultural education) and Wisdom (school life). The organization believes in creating a community that serves as a resource and empowers girls to be strong, confident, and independent. The activities consist of studying English,math, computer skills, exploring museums, learning about different cultures, health/hygiene instruction, budgeting for future trips, dancing music or singing. They also offers Camp GirlForward and the safe space project that allow the girls to explore their identity. The non profit goal is to help them graduate college and currently hold 100% high school graduation rate which has been reported by Ashley Marine, the director of engagement at GirlsForward.
