Funding & Partnerships

Fund a Girl's Whole Year

$120 covers one girl's full year in the Empowerment Academy. Here is exactly what that sponsorship pays for, what it costs to run our programs, and how partners can work with us.

What a $120 Academy sponsorship covers

One sponsorship takes a single girl through a full twelve-month Academy year — every module, every material, and the adults who guide her.

  • A full year of the Empowerment Academy curriculum — 12 monthly modules
  • Her printed workbook and activity materials
  • Live coaching sessions with a trained, screened facilitator
  • Her graduation celebration and certificate
  • Volunteer screening and safeguarding compliance for the adults who lead her sessions

Cost per girl, per year

$120

CAD · one-time, covers the full program year

No girl is turned away because her family cannot pay. Sponsorships and fee assistance cover the gap for families who need it.
