GBF-commissioned guidance: Speak for Yourself: What Girls Say about What Girls Need
Speak for Yourself reports on a GBF-commissioned two-year study of more than 200 girls ages 12 to 18 in six Illinois communities in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Our aim was twofold:
- to gather information about what works best for girls in programs
- to promote girls' power and leadership skills through participation in the research process and in partnership with adults

Speak for Yourself full report (PDF, 107 pages, 800k)
The executive summary is best for youth workers just wanting the study's findings; the full report may be better for academics and others conducting research. To receive a paper copy of the report, please contact us at contact@girlsbestfriend.org or 312/266-2842.
