What is Girl Talk? Girl Talk is a free peer-to-peer mentoring program where high school girls mentor middle school girls.
- Girl Talk Chapters are currently in 41 states and have reached more than 30,000 girls
Girl Talk's Mission: Girl Talk exists to help young teenage girls build self-esteem, develop leadership skills and recognize the value of community service.
Why $40,000? $40,000 fully supports 26 new Girl Talk Chapters at no cost to its participants! In this economy, we believe that middle school girls need this program to be readily available to them.
More About the Campaign: 4 for 40 in 40 is the brainchild of 6 devoted supporters whose goal is to help raise $40,000 in 40 days through $4 donations to help Girl Talk grow.
Why This Team Believes in Girl Talk
"The power of peer-to-peer mentoring is truly amazing, and that is seen first-hand with Girl Talk's impact. The fact that girls who participate in Girl Talk's program have statistically shown improvement on their grades in school because the social anxiety is lifted, is just incredible. Haley (Girl Talk Founder) has built her dream into a national organization that supports positive growth and support to tomorrow's leaders, and THAT'S the kind of organization I want to support!"

"Girl Talk truly has touched my heart from watching it work its magic on young ladies in our community. This summer at a Project Inside Out Girl Talk Camp I observed one young lady I have known for two years and have always tried get eye contact from when saying “hello”. Her shoulders were always hunched over, head down with eyes to the floor. For those two years upon being spoken to, her head would raise but never eye contact. Imagine my amazement when I arrived to the camp mid week and there was that very same young lady standing at a microphone in front of 70 of her peers confidently speaking and laughing! Also as powerful was watching the “popular” girls cheering and embracing a girl they had barely even noticed the past two years they had been in classes together. The tears streamed down my face knowing Girl Talk touched her life and quite possibly changed her path and future! As a mother of two young daughter’s I want this program available to them, their peers, and generations to come. Please join us in helping young ladies around the world become ladies filled with character and confidence."

"As the founder of a nonprofit that helps youth be all they can be, I find Girl Talk to be an amazing catalyst for middle school girls to feel confident in their own skin and navigate the world a little better. We need more positive forces in the world. We need more Girl Talk!"
- Jessica DeHart
“I’ve known Haley Kilpatrick (Girl Talk Founder) since she was nine years old. I’ve watched in awe and wonder as she has taken her personal experiences as a middle and high school student and turned them into this amazing program - a program that helps girls of similar experiences flower into happy and productive adults. When I hear the testimonies of the girls and their families and how this program has influenced them I am always overwhelmed with emotion, so when I was asked if I would serve as a volunteer with Girl Talk there was NO hesitation... I couldn’t spend my time and energy in any better way!”
