ABOUT US
In the fall of 2022, the leaders of 3D Girls, Inc. and Girls of Excellence, Inc., Raioni Madison and Toya Russell-Phillips, saw a need for greater collaboration among girl-serving organizations in the Atlanta area. They gathered 11 leaders from local organizations for quarterly conversations and professional development experiences. These gatherings offered a space to build community, capacity, and collaboration among the leaders, and they quickly realized the power of working together.
​
In the months that followed, the group continued to meet and discuss ways to improve the lives of girls in Atlanta and surrounding areas. The work was done to develop an infrastructure for collaborating and raising funding. They began to implement programs and initiatives that had a real impact on girls' lives. In 2024, the group launched The Girls Cooperative, Inc., a non-profit organization. At the core of the Girls Cooperative philosophy lies the belief that every girl possesses immense potential, waiting to be unlocked.
