#StrongGirls® Motto
Why #StrongGirls® Matters
High School is one of the most important times in teens’ lives.
Yet, for many students—even the overachievers—high school “waters” can be rough. It is a time loaded with firsts, friends, fluctuations and tons of fear! Today’s teens need practical, relevant and usable information in order to build a solid emotional and mental foundation. This is where the Keitt Institute’s #StrongGirls® Leadership Development program comes in.
#StrongGirls® is like a submarine that teen girls’ step into that’s loaded with tools that can help them excel and thrive in their lives. Each one of the eight modules uses instructional design, educational psychology and social-emotional principles in order to support teen girls’ learning and growth. #StrongGirls® graduates say the experience is “fun!”

this is why is #StrongGirls® is necessary
The “storm and stress” period of adolescence makes it extremely difficult for teens to achieve the type of success they desire in school (Bailen et al., 2019). The Keitt Institute’s #StrongGirls® Leadership Development program prepares teens with the emotional intelligence skills for career and life success.
When students’ #StrongGirls® submarine surfaces, they are armed with self-awareness, self-management, and relationship skills that will help them navigate high school (and life) confidently. Our schools, colleges, and workplaces need emotionally intelligent female leaders who can lead themselves and others. The Keitt Institute’s #StrongGirls® program helps teens become the leaders our world needs!
