Coalition of Advocates for Equal Access for Girls

Coalition of Advocates for Equal Access for Girls is an all volunteer member-driven coalition dedicated to supporting the adults who empower girls and to giving a voice to girls and to their issues and needs. Every girl possesses her own individual potential and with the right opportunities and support, young women can fulfill the promise of their unique strengths and abilities. We are committed to advocating for the creation of the social conditions in Oregon that will allow girls to have access to those opportunities and to educating those that serve girls about research-based and practice-proven gender-responsive services. The mission of the Coalition of Advocates for Equal Access for Girls is to ensure that girls receive equal access to all the appropriate gender-specific support and services they need to help them develop to their full potential.

The Coalition is made up of individuals and organizations from across the state who are passionate about our mission and who support our vision that sets the foundation for gender equity for girls in Oregon.  The Coalition leadership is made up of a fifteen-member volunteer Board of Directors. To support its members in pursing our mission, the Coalition acts as a state level advocate for girls, an education and information resource and as a network.
