ABOUT EGC

There are things a girl needs to know about contributing to society, leadership and personal growth. Things she should hear from a woman’s perspective. That’s where the Excellence Girls Club, Inc. comes in. We empower young girls. Introduce them to positive women and positive ideas. Unlock their potential. Help them grow. From promising young girls, into powerful young women.

Excellence Girls’ Club, Inc. seeks out middle and high school-age girls who display untapped academic and leadership potential. Members enjoy mother-daughter meetings, field trips and college tours, book discussions, weekly educational sessions and a monthly Leadership Institute. They volunteer for community service projects and an annual advocacy project to learn the value of contributing to society. At our annual bonding retreat, we celebrate the growth we’ve experienced.

We Are…

  • A sisterhood
  • When I think of EGC, the word that comes to mind is sisterhood.
  • A sisterhood that is often taunted, but ultimately cannot be broken.
  • A sisterhood filled with honesty, confidence and spared feelings.
  • A sisterhood that’s filled with strong minded young women, not naïve little girls.
  • A sisterhood that means we like your perfections, but love your flaws.
  • A sisterhood filled with love and gratitude.
  • A sisterhood that means YOU + ME = UNITY
