Our Framework

OUR FRAMEWORK (CULTIVATE)

Our work is guided by a values-based framework divinely revealed to our founder, Dr. Robyn S. Joppy. Each letter represents a pillar of growth we intentionally cultivate in every girl we serve:

CONFIDENCE

Assure the girls are strong and confident in who they are and what they represent.

UNIQUE

Assure the girls know they are so special and uniquely made; no one else has their DNA.

LEADERSHIP

Assure the girls know they don’t have to follow a crowd; they should set the standard.

TALENT

Assure the girls know everyone is born with a talent and if they don’t know, they will.

INTELLIGENT

Assure the girls know they are intelligent. Words like "stupid" and "dumb" are not acceptable.

VOICE

Assure the girls know they have a voice to speak truth to power.

ARTICULATE

Assure the girls know they have a right to articulate their position, passion, and concerns.

TENACIOUS

Assure the girls know mistakes are inevitable and it is ok. They will hear “be persistent.”

EXCELLENCE

Assure the girls know the importance of doing everything in excellence. Have a spirit of excellence!

This framework shapes our programs, mentorship approach, and long-term impact.
