FMF Youth Services

Girl Code is a signature youth development program of North Capitol Collaborative, Inc. designed to empower girls ages 12–17 through entrepreneurship, career exploration, and confidence-building experiences. The program creates a safe, affirming space where young women develop life skills, explore career pathways, and build positive peer connections.

Grounded in positive youth development and trauma-informed facilitation, through interactive workshops, participants are introduced to careers in beauty, wellness, and creative industries while learning foundational entrepreneurship concepts such as personal branding, communication, goal setting, and self-care as a form of professional readiness. Licensed professionals and trained facilitators guide youth through hands-on activities that connect skill-building with real-world applications.

Program Highlights

• Career exploration in beauty, hair care, wellness, and creative fields
• Entrepreneurship activities, including brand-building and idea development
• Hair care, hygiene, and self-care education to promote confidence and healthy routines
• Skill-building in communication, teamwork, and self-expression
• Trauma-informed, youth-centered facilitation that prioritizes emotional safety

Girl Code is offered in seasonal workshop series, including afterschool programs, summer camps, and special sessions such as Spring Break intensives. Programming blends education, creativity, and mentorship while reinforcing positive identity development and future planning.

Meals are provided during sessions to reduce barriers to participation, and all activities are free to confirmed participants.

Girl Code reflects NCCI’s commitment to uplifting young women, fostering leadership, and expanding access to career pathways that promote long-term confidence, economic opportunity, and self-sufficiency.
