HONORING 25 YEARS OF EMPOWERING "AT-PROMISE" GIRLS
Girl Power Rocks is proud to mark 25 years of inspiring, nurturing, and empowering 'at-promise" girls to reach their fullest potential. Our mission remains steadfast— to cultivate resilience, foster growth, and create thriving communities where every "at-promise" girl is supported to lead and succeed. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain dedicated to uplifting the next generation of leaders, building stronger families, and making lasting, positive impacts for "at-promise" girls everywhere.
25 YEARS STRONG
CELEBRATING A LEGACY OF EMPOWERING "AT-PROMISE GIRLS
For 25 years, Girl Power Rocks has empowered “at-promise” girls to rise, lead, and thrive. On September 13, 2025, we celebrated this milestone with an unforgettable weekend that honored our past and ignited our future.
From the Anniversary Celebration at the Coral Gables Country Club to our Charity Golf Tournament at the Miami Beach Golf Club, the community came together, supporters, leaders, alumni, and advocates—to uplift the next generation and celebrate everything Girl Power Rocks stands for.
Thanks to your generosity, we continue to expand life-changing mentorship, educational programming, leadership development, and mental wellness support for girls across Miami-Dade County.
This year, our goal remains to raise funds to grow our reach and deepen our impact in 2026 and beyond.
Together, we are 25 Years Strong, and just getting started.
After 25 Years of Mentorship,
Girl Power Rocks Builds New Housing for Foster Youth
“Girl Power Rocks has mentored thousands of young women over the past 25 years—and now, we're stepping into a new chapter. Read how we’re building safe, permanent housing for foster youth to expand our impact and deepen our commitment to those who need it most.”
Greetings,
It fills me with immense pride to lead an organization that has profoundly impacted the lives of countless at-promised girls and their families. At Girl Power Rocks, my foremost commitment is to protect, nurture, and uphold the integrity and moral consciousness of the future women leaders, caregivers, and educators in our society.
Too many girls arrive at our doorstep feeling broken, misguided, and neglected. Girl Power Rocks stands as a beacon of hope, offering a sanctuary where they receive unwavering support, guidance, counseling, and unconditional love—always with a ready listening ear. This work has been my deepest joy and proudest achievement.
With the steadfast support of our funders, partners, and the extended Girl Power Rocks' community, we are dedicated to continuing our mission for many more years. Together, we are making a difference—
Improving Our World, One Girl At a Time.

On Saturday, October 18th, our girls enjoyed a fun and inspiring field trip to the Pretty Empowered Event at the Carrie P. Meek Education Entrepreneurial Center, hosted by YWCA South Florida and Ulta Beauty. 💕
The day was filled with empowering moments, from listening to incredible speakers and engaging in STEAM-based activities to exploring pathways to future STEM careers. 🚀
And of course, no day of empowerment is complete without a little sparkle! The girls took home some amazing Ulta Beauty goodies as a reminder to always celebrate their brilliance, beauty, and power. 💄💫

![We had the honor of welcoming Samirah Horton, a 16-year-old motivational speaker, author, DJ, and founder of the Banned Book Library. Samirah, also known as DJ Annie Red, reached out to us with a passion for giving back, and gifted our girls an inspiring in-kind anti-bullying session. ✨
Our Girls Rock After School Program and Girls Intervention Program PLUS participants were moved by her powerful message on courage, resilience, and the importance of standing up for yourself and others.
Samirah [ @nevertooyoungtomakeachange ] reminded us that young voices matter, and that change often starts with the next generation. 💖
Thank you, Samirah, for pouring into our girls with your wisdom and light. 🌟

📖 Our girls’ first assignment? To speak life into themselves with 10 affirmations—because confidence begins with words of self-love.
🎉 We also celebrated our very own Ms. Wilson’s birthday, honoring her dedication and joy she brings to our village each day.
💃🏾 And of course, dance class is already filling the room with energy, rhythm, and smiles!
At Girl Power Rocks, after-school care goes beyond homework—it’s about building confidence, celebrating community, and creating safe spaces for girls to shine. ✨

![What a night to remember! 💖⚾️
Last week, Girl Power Rocks proudly took the field at the Miami Marlins' [ @marlins ] Women Empowerment Night, a powerful evening celebrating the women and girls shaping South Florida's future. 💫
Our very own Girls Choir of Miami opened the game with a stunning rendition of the National Anthem, filling the stadium with pride, passion, and unity. Standing centerfield in their pink shirts, these young voices proved that confidence, courage, and sisterhood shine brightest under the lights.
From the pregame panel at The Bullpen Bar & Grill to honoring this year’s Women Empowerment Game Changers, the night was packed with purpose, inspiration, and community. We’re honored to have been a part of it and to raise up the next generation of changemakers. 🙌🏾
🎉 THANK YOU to the Marlins for spotlighting Girl Power Rocks and for creating space for our girls to dream big.

![🎒💖 More Than Backpacks — It’s About Building Futures.
At our End-of-Summer Camp + Backpack Giveaway, we gave girls the tools to start school strong but the impact goes far beyond supplies.
📊 From the Florida Girls Databook:
• 44.2% of at-promise girls in Florida reported suicidal thoughts last year
• 28% experience high levels of trauma
• Miami-Dade is #1 in Florida for human trafficking
For 25 years, Girl Power Rocks has been answering this urgent call—creating safe spaces, mentorship, and resources that change lives.
🌟 Every backpack = confidence.
Every program = opportunity.
Every girl = a brighter future.

This generous support helps power transformative programs like our After-School Enrichment, STEAM Workforce Training Camp, Girls Intervention Program Plus (GIPP), and Sister Circle Mentoring, spaces where girls are not only supported, but seen, heard, and celebrated.

* 44.2% of "at-promise" girls in Florida reported suicidal thoughts in the past year.
* Florida ranks 3rd in the U.S. for the trafficking of underage girls.
* Miami-Dade County leads the state in reported cases.
These aren’t just numbers. They are urgent calls to action, and with the support of New York Life and our broader community of donors, we’re answering them every day.
🌟 For 25 years, we’ve been creating safe, nurturing, and empowering spaces for girls.
💥 With this continued support, we’re building a brighter, stronger future, one girl at a time.
