It is our vision that every girl is given the tools to reach her full potential emotionally, intellectually, socially, occupationally, financially, and environmentally.

Through these values, we work to improve the personal, social, academic, and career development of girls throughout Michigan.
Description
Grit, Glam, and Guts begin in 2011 in Lansing, MI as a one-day event for girls and transformed into a movement to inspire, equip, and empower teens to navigate modern-day challenges. The first event was a one-day conference for teen girls with the goal of creating a safe space, create a sisterhood, and empowerment within a community. It has now expanded to include multi-partnerships in 3 cities, a week-long residential camp at Michigan State University, and after school programming.
We accomplish our mission with the tools of self-awareness, self-identity, and the power of your voice, we are able to promote social change, eliminate barriers to success, maximize potential, empower girls to reach their full potential.
