Our mission is inspired by our life experiences and journeys, and together we are committed to creating opportunities for black girls and young women.

About

Sisters Keepers

We inspire and enable black girls to be the best version of themselves.

Sisters Keepers strives to advance the well-being of young black girls between the ages of 12 and 18. Our mission is to tackle real-world problems confronting black girls and to supply the resources, tools, and support they require to be successful. 

We view education as a critical component of a successful life and are devoted to helping young women access the best education possible. We firmly believe that girls with the proper backing and guidance can evolve into self-sufficient and successful leaders in their communities and careers. 

Our initiatives are intended to inspire, support, engage, equip, and unleash the brilliance of young black girls across the globe.
