About SheLeadHer

Our Mission

SheLeadHer (SLH) is a Toronto-based, youth-led grassroots organization dedicated to providing structured wellbeing programming and direct resource support for girls and young women. We believe that when young women are supported with consistency, community, and access to resources, they lead — in their own lives and in the world around them.

Our programming is designed to be structured, intentional, and community-centered. We meet participants where they are, offering small-group weekend sessions that prioritize wellbeing, skill-building, and peer connection.

Our Founder

SheLeadHer was founded by a community development practitioner with over 3 years of direct experience at Davenport-Perth Community Ministry, one of Toronto's established neighbourhood hubs serving diverse and under-resourced communities. Our founder brings more than 10 years of volunteer experience spanning youth mentorship, housing support, food security, and environmental sustainability — a breadth of experience that shapes SLH's holistic, resource-informed approach to youth programming.

Who We Serve

SLH programming is designed for girls and young women in Toronto. We are committed to building inclusive spaces that welcome all youth who identify as young women, including those from LGBTQIA+ communities. We are intentional about creating environments where every participant feels seen, respected, and supported.

Why It Matters

Grassroots organizations like SheLeadHer fill critical gaps in structured, accessible programming for young women. We are community-built, community-accountable, and committed to long-term impact — not just one-time events. Our model is designed to be replicable, fundable, and scalable as we grow.
