Our Background
   Lacy Asbill and Elana Metz met in a women’s studies course at Mills College in Oakland, and instantly became good friends. During their studies in sociology and gender theory, they realized that so much needed to be done for women and girls to overcome the obstacles which hinder their confidence and success.

   As students, Elana and Lacy dedicated their time to running girls’ empowerment groups and mentoring young women academically. While they saw incredible transformations in the girls they worked with, Lacy and Elana knew that much more needed to be done. As these young women never think small, they decided to found Girls Moving Forward, an organization dedicated to ending the gender confidence gap and supporting girls both academically and emotionally.

   Girls Moving Forward now offers part-time teaching jobs all over the bay area, and serves a diverse group of girls ranging from first through twelfth grades. Today, Elana and Lacy direct a rapidly-expanding organization: meeting with parents, students, teachers, counselors, and tutors to discuss gender, education, and how we can work together to improve girls’ self-esteem.
