Empowering Tomorrow's Talent at a Young Age
West Virginia needs talented girls and women to help move us forward. We must ensure that our girls can be confident in reaching their full potential, allowing them to advance their education and take on leadership roles in schools and work for the next generation. When girls rise up, the state rises up, too.
West Virginia needs more talented and educated women in our workforce. WV Forward findings and research reveal that reaching out to middle school aged girls is the right time to help them see a future in college and the boardroom, which helps build West Virginia’s talent pipeline today and tomorrow.
Senator Shelley Moore Capito is helping do just that through the program she founded, West Virginia Girls Rise Up.

"Inspiring the next generation of young West Virginians leaders—especially our girls and young women—is so important to me," Senator Capito said. "Through efforts like my West Virginia Girls Rise Up initiative and by bringing together Ambassador Haley and the Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council, we can help encourage our young women to find their voice, fulfill their potential, and become leaders. By empowering our girls to become the next generation of CEOs, entrepreneurs, innovators and change-makers, we hope they will become a force to move West Virginia forward."
