About Us

OUR VISION

Preparing Girls to become today and tomorrow's leaders 

MISSION

Creating a space to build the self-esteem and confidence of young girls, support their emotional well-being, provide mentoring support, develop character and leadership potential.

OUR HISTORY

Girls on Fire Mentoring and Enrichment Program (GOF) is a project of the Center for Creative Life and Learning, Inc. (Center), a 501 ( c) 3 non profit organization.


GOF was established in  2015  in Columbia  Maryland, as a community outreach effort to enrich the lives of young  girls 8-12 years of age.  In 2018, the Center expanded GOF services to Baltimore City, Maryland and also established the  Girls on Fire Leadership Development Academy  (LDA)  both in Columbia and Baltimore, as a bridge to continue our work with girls  13-18 no longer age eligible for the GOF program.

 

We now serve over 55 girls in  Baltimore and Columbia communities.
