When Andrea first joined PEARLS as a high school student, she wasn’t sure a girls’ program was for her. What she found instead was honesty, consistency, and adults who showed up with care and authenticity. That experience changed her trajectory. From participant to Teen Facilitator, and eventually Program Manager, Andrea has spent more than a decade growing alongside PEARLS, walking with girls as they find their voices, build confidence, and step into leadership. Her journey is a powerful reminder that when you invest in one girl, the impact ripples for years to come.
