Each week the girls and their mentors utilize a research-based curriculum that incorporates the study of contemporary and historic female role models, skill-building activities, and strong relationships with mentors and peers.〔(Strong Women Strong Girls Website )〕 ==History== Lindsay Hyde began Strong Women Strong Girls in Miami, Florida during her senior year of high school. In 2000 she left for college and launched the program as a student group at Harvard University. The mentoring began with six college-age women serving as mentors in two elementary schools. The program quickly expanded throughout the greater Boston, MA area. In 2004, SWSG was incorporated as a non-profit organization and named Lindsay Hyde as the organization’s executive director. In 2006, SWSG launched programming in its first expansion community of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
