Created to Be helps girls build the confidence, life skills, academic readiness, social intelligence, and sense of belonging they need to thrive, in school, in their relationships, and in the world beyond the classroom.
Through engaging, hands-on programs, girls are given space to learn, create, connect, explore who they are, and build skills for who they are becoming.
Young people need more than academic instruction alone.
They need opportunities to practice communication, decision-making, creativity, leadership, independence, collaboration, and confidence.
Created to Be provides engaging youth development experiences that complement what girls are learning in school while helping them strengthen the personal and practical skills that support long-term success.
Our programs are designed around the whole girl, her learning, her well-being, her relationships, her confidence, and her future.
Through Created to Be programs, girls have opportunities to strengthen:
Confidence & Identity
Helping girls understand who they are, recognize their strengths, use their voices, and develop confidence in themselves.
Life Readiness
Building practical knowledge and everyday skills that help girls become more capable, responsible, and independent.
Communication & Social Intelligence
Teaching girls how to communicate effectively, navigate relationships, work with others, handle conflict, and understand social situations.
Academic & Creative Development
Providing hands-on experiences that strengthen literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and learning engagement.
Career & Future Awareness
Giving girls early exposure to careers, entrepreneurship, leadership, goal-setting, and possibilities beyond what they may already know.
Connection & Well-Being
Creating environments where girls feel supported, valued, included, and connected to caring adults and their peers.
Created to Be programs turn important developmental skills into interactive experiences girls can actually use.

LIT Ladies in Training

Schools work hard to prepare students academically.
Created to Be helps strengthen the developmental experiences that can be harder to fit into the traditional school day.
Our programs give girls intentional opportunities to practice the skills connected to confidence, communication, leadership, independence, creativity, relationships, and future readiness.
We partner with schools and community organizations to help create environments where girls can learn, belong, grow, and discover what they are capable of becoming.
Created to Be programs can be adapted for:
Schools
After-school programs
Apartment communities
Libraries
Recreation centers
Churches
Youth organizations
Community organizations
Summer programs and camps
Programs are available as workshops, short-term series, and multi-week cohort experiences.
We work with each partner to select programming that fits the age group, setting, schedule, and goals of the girls they serve.
Every Created to Be experience is designed to be:
Hands-On
Girls learn by doing, creating, discussing, practicing, and participating.
Developmentally Appropriate
Programming is designed around the needs, interests, and developmental stages of girls.
Skill-Based
Each experience is connected to clear skills and competencies girls can practice and demonstrate.
Relationship-Centered
We believe girls grow best when they feel safe, supported, respected, and connected.
Future-Focused
Girls are encouraged to see possibilities for themselves and develop the skills to move toward them.
Created to Be was built from a simple belief:
Girls deserve more than instructions about what to do.
They deserve opportunities to discover who they are.
They deserve adults who see their potential, environments where they feel safe enough to grow, and experiences that help them become more confident in their ability to navigate life.
We are creating those spaces, one girl, one program, and one community at a time.
Whether you serve girls through a school, youth organization, community program, church, or neighborhood, Created to Be can help you provide engaging experiences that support their growth beyond the classroom.
For gentle guidance, real conversations, and support as you pour into the girl(s) you love.
