“Another awesome night. My daughter said she loves Stand Up Girls and wishes we did it every Monday night.”
“It’s like ‘Lean In’ for girls. My daughter loves it and is now telling her brother how to handle mean kids.”
“Thank you so much for doing this. I learned more in one night than in any of the parenting books I’ve read.”
“I loved having extra time with my daughter. I see how important these lessons are and this is an excellent start to sharing them with the girls.”

More than 40 families in our community have participated in SUG and continue to refer other students and families interested in these issues. The community spirit you see in our group is remarkable. We are proud that SUG families reflect the broad and vibrant spectrum we celebrate in our community, a diverse coalition coming together to empower our girls. Here's what SUG parents tell us:
"At least 3 separate times my daughter has told me directly that she used a tip/tactic learned from the class to stand-up for herself or someone else. Pretty cool!
"You women are absolutely awesome. I wish we had SUG in Bergen County. You should think about taking your show on the road."
Jessica Gomperts, Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor
"I was so intrigued and impressed by the success and accomplishments of all the girls involved in Stand Up Girls. Congratulations and thank you for all that you are doing for them."
"The activities were really interesting and engaging (not easy to keep that many girls and parents quiet for so long) and your efforts are much appreciated. The world needs more positive, empowering groups."
