  Below are some resources that you can look at for:
  1) Partnership
  o You can invite some of the successful women to come and share their experience if they are willing to do it not for money but out of the kindness of their heart. You can probably gift them with some memorabilia.
  o You can write to them to speak about your project on their website.
  o You can also direct some of the older Zion’s girls to read these resources on a regular basis. They could also participate in the social networking sites that some of them offer.
  2) Tutoring, coaching, and entrepreneurial training.

  Definately a mentoring/shadowing program, especially with the 16 & 17 year olds. Its one thing to teach, but with the current job market, espeically for females, no matter the race, hands on experience is a must if one wants to have some leverage, even at the entry level of any industry.
  Also, what specific life & enrichment skills are you looking to include in your program; If you have not already considered you may want to incorporate health, (eating, exercising, or GYN issues), ettiquitte for social and corporate situations, and even something as simple as balancing a checkbook.

  Youth empowerment is a vision we share.
  
  Based on what I'm reading, your struggle will not be in the launch -- it will be in the perpetuation of new faces coming in and upholding the standards you will create today.
  
  Although your core target is older, there are established organizations, such as the Girl Scouts of America, that have been experiencing membership decline and lack of community support. This particular organization has highlighted the fact that as the girls get older, the Girl Scouts struggle to be "cool" enough to keep the kids engaged.
  
  Your initial cool factor is not in jeapordy, because you'll have your own daughter as advocate. Additionally, you'll get the input of her friends and their families, which will be an additional blessing.
  
  At the same time, your early decisions will shape the programs you develop. And the name and reputation you begin to earn.
  
  A healthy exercise you might want to try, as founder, is to ask yourself what Zion's Girls will be best known for in 2 years, 5 y…moreears, 10 years?
  
  Seriously, write down a 45-character "headline" and ask your member girls to do the same. Don't allow yourself the luxury of going over 45 characters!
  
  Good luck!

  Your idea is wonderful! We share similar visions. As our non-profit continues to grow I feel like we can help your effort in some way. I serve a group of young teens in a gospel setting and it seems like the #1 item that changes their lives is SERVICE. This helps others build their own self worth.
  
  Keep it up and don't ever stop, these young girls need leaders and mentors like you.
  
  Please keep in touch,

  I really like this concept. As a father of a 13 year old daughter, I see how impressionable girls are at this stage. Fostering healthy relationships and positive peer / rolemodels is desperately needed. I suggest focusing a tightly focused program on developing self-esteem via public speaking a la Dale Carnegie and Toastmasters.

  You could come up with a 'course' where girls come up with a goal and over 8 weeks or so, build it. You could have a little manual, etc.
