GIRLS EMPOWERMENT MOVEMENT

The Girls Empowerment Movement (G.E.M.) was founded in 2012 to mentor, encourage and educate young women in Berks County.

“As a young girl I remember only really having my mom and one or two teachers that helped me along the way. I felt deeply that I needed to establish a core group of community women to be mentors for our future leaders. And that vision grew into something even more beautiful, our Fairy Godmother Project.” — Alneasa Jordan, G.E.M. Founder The Fairy Godmother project helps young women that cannot financially afford to go to prom make their dreams come true. G.E.M. helps provide services like a dress, hair and makeup and all that is needed for prom success. Just like a GEM which are all different and beautiful, so are young ladies in our communities. G.E.M. embraces and promotes education and empowerment by providing support, self-esteem and fun. Women2Women chose G.E.M. as a partner for donations at the 2022 Women2Women Conference & Expo. Attendees came with dresses, shoes, purses and more to donate to The Fairy Godmother project. Thank you to everyone who donated to this wonderful cause! “Giving a big shout to Miss Alneasa Ani Jordan and her girls empowerment movement, she came up with her “Fairy godmother project” which gave me the opportunity to get a dress that I loved at no cost with the full experience. If you know anyone who may want to attend prom but can’t get help with getting a dress or any other services she may provide please don’t hesitate to reach out; her and her team will get you right thank you again Alneasa!!” — Heavenly Fields In 2022 1000+ items were collected and G.E.M. is always collecting donations for the following year.
