Girls With Ambition A Blend of Education & Play

Girls With Ambition, a program at UMADAOP in Cincinnati, is an instrument for empowering young girls to make positive decisions that add security, community, and pragmatic education to their lives. To stumble into one of their meetings, you’d find 7th and 8th grade girls meeting up in a relaxed setting where open dialogue is encouraged, and pizza is free and plenty. The young girls learn about the dangers of drugs, how to protect themselves from and during harmful situations, and how to respond when put in uncomfortable settings where they feel unsafe.The girls are taught to be R.E.A.L; which is an acronym most of them could probably break down for you: Refuse, Explain, Avoid, Leave.
