Welcome to Gemstones in the Making, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering girls across Southwest Florida. We excel at creating safe and inclusive spaces where every girl is valued and supported on her journey towards self-discovery and success.

Our Mission: At Gemstones in the Making, our mission is to foster the growth, empowerment, and wellbeing of girls in our community. We achieve this through a variety of programs and initiatives designed to uplift and equip young women to face the challenges of growing up and pursuing their dreams.

What We Offer:

1. Podcasts, Conferences, and Retreats:We provide a platform for girls to share their stories, thoughts, and experiences through our empowering podcasts. Our conferences and retreats offer safe spaces where young women can engage in meaningful discussions about the transition into adulthood, learn how to navigate external pressures, and cultivate a strong sense of community and sisterhood.

2. Access to Mental Health Services:We understand the importance of mental health and wellness. We ensure that girls have access to the support they need by connecting them with mental health services that promote emotional well-being and resilience.

3. Educational Opportunities:We are passionate about breaking down barriers to education.
