2022 Annual Report

BIO Girls made tremendous strides toward our strategic goal in 2022.

Our goal? To impact 1 in 6 adolescent girls in North Dakota annually by 2025.

By doubling our impact in 2022, BIO Girls reached 1 in 13 girls and 2,263 girls overall. We remained focused on this goal because our girls are suffering in the areas of body esteem, mental health, and thoughts of suicide.

BIO Girls provides preventative programming to address the number one predictor of emotional and behavioral issues: low self-esteem. And BIO Girls works. Year over year, 70% of program participants experience a significant increase in self-esteem and 50% reduce their feelings of anxiety.

We have been able to maintain these results as we grow because of the incredible work of our team and the thousands of passionate volunteers who bring our program to life. We are grateful to our partners who power our program – our donors, our sponsors, our advocates, and our volunteers. Together we are impacting lives, together we are creating healthier communities, together we can make a difference.

Thank you.
