Children's Healthcare of Atlanta

girlFriends Leadership Board Application 2024-2025

GIRLFRIENDS GROUP INFORMATION

girlFriends is a high school volunteer organization serving Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The group is solely student run by a high school leadership board, comprising girls representing high schools all over the greater Atlanta area. The leadership board is selected based on an application and interview process and students serve school-year long terms. Adult volunteer advisors and Children’s representatives oversee the girls and help provide leadership training and practical applications.

girlFriends are involved in several fundraising and other volunteer activities benefiting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The girls have planned and hosted several patient parties in the hospitals; held a teenage gift drive for patients and provided items for stockings, goody bags, and toiletry bags for families in the hospital. Each year, girlFriends help with service projects, plan for and decorate mailboxes in the Friends Holiday Mailbox Brigade, and plan an annual fundraising event.
