Mission: Hardy Girls takes girls and nonbinary youth seriously and puts the power in their hands to challenge a society that ignores their brilliance. We dare adult allies to join us. Vision: Girls and nonbinary youth cause a ruckus. Hardy Girls is a Maine-based, research-driven nonprofit. Established in 2000, we partner with girls and gender expansive youth to ignite curiosity, promote thinking critically, build coalitions, and challenge the status quo. We’re about changing the culture, not fixing the young person. Hardy Girls works with 1,000+ girls and nonbinary youth annually through year-round, statewide programs.
