The Adolescent Girls Community of Practice supports its partners in bringing effective programs for adolescent girls to scale. The Council established the Community of Practice in 2013, building on 15 previous years of research on the conditions of girls at the highest risk of the worst outcomes. This collection contains practical tools and resources, program content, reports and research, and webinars to support girls’ programs.
