Direct Service, II. Policy Change and III. Culture Change work.I.GGE experiences direct service as an essential entry point for young people into our programs - by serving young people where they are in their youth development stage, we can impact their lives immediately while engaging them to organize around changing the systems that harm them. II.Policy and advocacy: To scale change, GGE organizes 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 most whole lives. We work to change legislative agendas where young people experience gendered and racialized violence, including but not limited to education, police violence, ending girls incarceration, and ending child sexual abuse, sexual assault, and gender-based violence with attention to young people. III.Culture change: GGEs work is predicated on cross-sector institutions shifting their lens to center 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 at large, and girls of color themselves, GGE has unabashedly centered Black girls in movements for racial and gender equity. 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/or gender-based violence or allies to survivors. 2. Young Womens Advisory Council (YWAC): Citywide civic engagement program to advance policy and campaign goals of young people. 3. National Young Womens Initiative (YWI) supports civic engagement efforts across the eight National YWI programs in Minnesota, Memphis, DC, Houston, Birmingham, Massachusetts, California, and NY focused on uplifting cis and trans girls and gender-expansive youth in their communities. 4.

COVID 19 Impact and RecoveryThe COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted GGEs youth and their communities. The pandemic caused significant modification to our FY 20 activities. GGE modified its services to offer young people virtual programming, and increased digital organizing and advocacy. Services included supporting the transition to remote learning, virtual town halls, advocacy, technology and resource support, and safety planning with young people who experienced crisis. We increased our referral services to ensure youth had basic needs met, and provided essential services and emergency support. We are still learning the long term impact of the pandemic on youths mental health and wellness and will continue to advocate for equitable recovery. 1875994 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 60 0 true 56 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X NCheng LLP 2127850100 40 Wall Street New York NY 10005 Joanne Smith President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 138845 0 15233 Sasha Ahuja Chief of Staff 40.00 0.00 X 88129 0 12186 Sandra Park Chairperson 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 226974 27419 1 false true false Ncheng LLP 40 Wall Street 32nd Floor New York NY 10005 Accounting Services 118000 1 607263 2780263 3387526 Fee for service 531390 30715 30715 30715 35772 35772 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other income 900099 21878 21878 21878 3475891 52593 35772 X 0 92436 92436 0 0 266670 175364 49219 42087 0 1206278 950231 202483 53564 23026 18870 3707 449 168367 130894 28529 8944 109962 84262 18760 6940 0 0 0 0 0 0 358202 157949 192892 7361 14111 14111 51142 39170 9056 2916 19808 4971 14500 337 0 171949 131760 29335 10854 83151 27184 55860 107 0 0 0 0 30150 23103 5144 1903 3384 2593 577 214 Miscellaneous 27819 21290 5873 656 Dues and subscriptions 20772 15917 3544 1311 0 2647227 1875994 633590 137643 2029347 868858 2007077 1992824 1298338 2245582 0 0 0 0 0 32872 37009 162773 68780 46949 93993 0 0 0 0 29450 38950 5444033 5277216 286154 175347 20438 21038 356600 24304 11393 330896 564378 X 1856022 2330171 3257115 2382667 5113137 4712838 5444033 5277216 X 828664 -1228963 X false true X true false X 1032339 2087391 1662954 5858978 3387526 14029188 0 0 1032339 2087391 1662954 5858978 3387526 14029188 4951748 9077440 777 3718 1987 17741 35772 59995 0 10992 5042 21878 37912 14127095 107712 0.64260 0.60680 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false true false true 23096 true 23096 false 46192 false false false true 95529 44233 51296 67244 24547 42697 93993 Deferred Rent 11393 11393 X 3527515 51624 51624 3475891 3475891 2698851 51624 51624 2647227 2647227 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
