Today’s girls are growing up in an increasingly complex world—one where academic pressure, mental health challenges, social media, and global crises intersect in ways no generation has experienced before.
At Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey, we see the promise and potential in every girl, but we also recognize the urgent need to support their overall wellbeing.
To better understand what girls across our state are facing, we joined forces with our three sister state councils—Central & Southern, Northern New Jersey, and Jersey Shore—to commission this report. Her Future in Focus: The New Jersey Girl Report presents Case for Girls - a call to action for adult champions, greater investment in their futures, and dedicated advocates in education and policy-making who will help create meaningful, lasting change.
We are united in our mission to ensure all girls in New Jersey have the support, opportunities, and advocacy they need to thrive.
