  • Girls are struggling with low self-confidence, having difficulty managing stress, pressure and anxiety, lacking representation in STEM and AP courses, managing intense conflict with other girls and attempting to navigate social media. These challenges are holding girls back from reaching their full potential.

    As the national leader in research and programming focused on girls, ROX provides support, motivation, connection and education to girls in the areas of their lives where and when they need it most. Grounded in research and professionally delivered, the ROX Program for Girls addresses the non-academic needs of female students in communities across the U.S.
