LES Girls to Women is a weekly component of the Girls' and Young Women's Initiative. It was established in 1996 by two NYU volunteers. This group provides girls, ages 9-12 with a space to grow and explore their identity as preteen girls.

Over the past four years, these girls have participated in activities such as:

• web design
• body image/self esteem workshops
• community service projects
• dance
• art
