Are you a community-based organization working with girls?
We’re glad you’re here.

We’re She’s the First, a nonprofit organization that teams up with women-led, grassroots organizations to make sure girls everywhere are educated, respected, and heard.

We’re big fans of girl-centered design, which requires practitioners to create and evaluate programs with girls. This is easier said than done!

With our friends and partners at MAIA, we crafted this step-by-step guide on how to most effectively use focus groups to integrate girls’ voices into your decisions.

The toolkit comes with an extensive guide to holding focus groups, a case study, and an explanatory video. It's designed so that anyone on your team can use it, and it’s available in English and Spanish.
