Carrie Silver-Stock, MSW, LCSW, author of the award winning, Powder Box Secrets: Seven Tips to Help Teen Girls Achieve Success, and founder and CEO of Girls with Dreams.com, has a dream of creating an amazing global community of teen girls.
She wants to start a movement and revolution for girls to not only stop putting each other down, but to create a safe place they could get new ideas and support for some of their toughest problems. The mission is simple: to create a space founded on friends, dreams, and action where girls will empower one another to build their best lives. Girls will learn how to be leaders and take action not only in their own lives, but in the world.
