All donations will be matched by a generous private donor, so your impact will be doubled!
Join the Movement
REALgirl (SERniña) is striving to create a world where every girl can live free, and fearless. Through our Young Feminism Lab, we provide teen girls with the support they need to recognize their power, question harmful norms, step into their leadership, and transform their communities.
And we cannot do it without you! This December, be part of this transformation.
Your donation helps create safe, nurturing, and powerful spaces where girls can learn to live without fear.
The Young Feminism Lab is our newest program, inspired by the leadership, dreams, and requests from our girl-participants.
The Young Feminism Lab, is for hard-working graduates of past SERniña/SERlideresa programs who show a fierce commitment to their own empowerment, and advancing gender equity. Participants are young women ages 14 to 18 from rural villages such as El Hato, Jocotenango, Santa Ana, La Guardianía, and San Felipe in Sacatepéquez, Guatemala. Thanks to their in-depth journey, they arrive at the Lab with the curiosity, strength, and awareness needed to explore feminism through their own lived experiences, understand the power dynamics that shape their lives, and become active agents of change in their communities.
Unlike our other programs which happen within partner schools, the Young Feminism Lab takes place at the SERniña Central office where girls from all partner communities come together twice-per-month for full-day intensive sessions to learn, grow, and lead together.
This program is girl-led as the curriculum is co-created alongside the girls based on the needs, goals, and interests they identify.
The program is also very diverse, as it not only includes workshops, but also includes inspiring women guest speakers, planning and executing community events, as well as educational and inspiring field trips and outings.
During this program, the girls also receive more one-on-one support in their academic and professional pathways.
Just like all our programs, all participants also have access to our violence prevention and response programs and sexual health programs.

Your generosity inspires others. A private donor has pledged to match the first 10,000 dollars given throughout our entire Alive, Free and Fearless campaign. This means every gift during the campaign is doubled. When you give, they give too, helping us reach even more girls with leadership and empowerment programs through our Young Feminism Lab.
For example:
• A gift of 25 dollars becomes 50 dollars
• A gift of 50 dollars becomes 100 dollars
