The inspiHER Girls Leadership Foundation began in 2018 with one retreat in Fairfield County, Ohio. Today, we’ve grown across central and southeastern Ohio, hosting full-day retreats that have impacted hundreds of middle school and high school girls through confidence-building, leadership training, and mentorship.

​

Our retreats focus on five core areas: Leadership, Confidence, Resilience, Self-Care, and Community Service. Each event gives girls the tools, support, and inspiration to believe in themselves and lead with purpose.

​

Since day one, people have asked us: “What about the boys?” We are proud to answer with the launch of the FORGE Boys Leadership Foundation, a new arm of our organization designed for boys in grades 5–8. Built on the pillars of Focus, Opportunities, Respect, Grit, and Excellence, FORGE will host its first summit in March 2026 and include a high school mentorship program.

Our inspiHER Program Model

We believe in the power of immersive, hands-on experiences. That’s why we host full-day leadership retreats designed specifically for girls in grades 5–8. Each retreat combines inspiring keynote speakers, interactive workshops, small-group mentor circles, and reflection time to create a day that is both fun and life-changing.

​

Our retreats focus on five core areas of growth:

• Leadership – Leading with courage, vision, and integrity

• Confidence – Believing in yourself and owning your voice

• Resilience – Overcoming challenges and bouncing back stronger

• Self-Care – Prioritizing balance, well-being, and healthy choices

• Community Service – Giving back and making a difference locally

​

Girls leave each retreat not only inspired but equipped with tools, journals, and action steps they can use every day.
