Direct Service, II. Policy Change and III.

III.Culture change: GGEs work is predicated on cross-sector institutions shifting their lens to center on the narratives and needs of young women and girls of color and gender-expansive, non-binary youth of color. Whether philanthropic organizations, government and policymakers, the media, the public, and girls of color themselves, GGE has unabashedly centered Black girls in racial and gender equity movements. GGE advances the work of culture change to shift conditions for the long term. IV.Youth work with GGE through five local and national programs, including: 1. Sisters in Strength (SIS): Healing-centered survivor circles for young people who are survivors of sexual and gender-based violence or allies to survivors. 2.

Policy and advocacy: To scale change, we organize alongside young people to eliminate the structural barriers that prevent cis and trans girls of color and gender-expansive, non-binary youth of color from living their whole lives.

Pandemic Impact and RecoveryTwo years into the COVID pandemic, we are learning about the irreparable harm experienced by youth in our nation. We know there is a dire need for holistic mental health services and that the self-harm and suicide rates are on the rise. To navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, GGE modified its services to offer young people virtual programming and increased digital organizing and advocacy. We are now a hybrid and national organization, with staff and programs in multiple states. We are still learning the long-term impact of the pandemic on youths mental health and wellness, economic outcomes, quality of life and life span. 1963456 true true false true false false false false true false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 124 0 true 23 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X NCheng LLP 2127850100 40 Wall Street New York NY 10005 Joanne Smith President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 133265 0 17160 Tiffany Williams COO 40.00 0.00 X 95533 0 14810 Michelle Grier CPO 40.00 0.00 X 95622 0 12262 Sasha Ahuja Till July 2020 Chief of Staff 40.00 0.00 X 73850 0 12151 Sandra Park Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Ferry Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Naomi Abraham Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Monica Dennis Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Steele Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rovika Rajkishun Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Afua Addo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Pei Desrosiers Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 398270 56383 1 false true false 0 417471 3274258 3691729 Fee for service 531390 23181 23181 23181 15078 15078 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other income 900099 15430 15430 15430 3745418 38611 15078 X 0 140943 140943 0 0 413681 272183 125728 15770 0 1076971 835960 118269 122742 34643 26245 4958 3440 156196 119878 19243 17075 126442 94316 20168 11958 0 0 0 0 0 0 351775 156400 159894 35481 1202 1202 23181 16910 4282 1989 50448 35690 13681 1077 0 219349 163625 34980 20744 21140 15850 4969 321 0 0 0 0 28209 21157 4513 2539 4588 3441 734 413 Miscellaneous 43832 35745 5670 2417 Dues and subscriptions 33667 25113 5370 3184 0 2726267 1963456 523661 239150 868858 2377247 1992824 2007902 2245582 2178764 0 0 0 0 0 37009 27946 166906 96989 93993 69917 0 0 0 0 38950 38950 5277216 6700726 175347 226051 21038 21468 356600 696859 11393 24359 564378 968737 X 2330171 2399771 2382667 3332218 4712838 5731989 5277216 6700726 1019151 X false true X true false X 2087391 1662954 5858978 3387526 3691729 16688578 0 0 2087391 1662954 5858978 3387526 3691729 16688578 5980084 10708494 3718 1987 17741 35772 15078 74296 0 10992 5042 21878 15430 53342 16816216 111719 0.63680 0.64260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false true false true 23125 true 23125 false 46250 false false false true 99662 58993 40669 67244 37996 29248 69917 Deferred Rent 24359 24359 X 3745418 3745418 3745418 2726267 2726267 2726267 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
