LEADERSHIP
P31GIRLS was founded on a simple belief: Girls thrive when they are surrounded by people who see their potential, challenge
them to grow, and create opportunities for them to lead.
Our leadership model is intentionally relational. We believe meaningful growth happens through trusted mentors, supportive communities, and experiences that help girls discover what they are capable of becoming.
Meet Our Founder
Tanesha Myles founded P31GIRLS after recognizing a need for more intentional spaces where girls could learn, grow, and develop beyond the traditional classroom.
What began as a vision to support girls through mentorship and enrichment has evolved into an organization serving girls through STEM, leadership & character development, school partnerships, and innovative learning experiences designed to prepare them for life beyond school.
For Tanesha, the work has always been about more than programming. It is about helping girls build the confidence to use their voices, the discipline to pursue their goals, and the character to lead with integrity.

Leadership In Action
One of the most meaningful aspects of P31GIRLS is the opportunity for girls to learn from women who represent different pathways of leadership, achievement, and service.
Through partnerships with colleges, universities, community leaders, and professional women, P31GIRLS introduces girls to mentors and role models who help broaden their perspective of what is possible for their future.
These leaders do far more than speak at events. They build relationships, share experiences, facilitate learning, and encourage girls to pursue their goals with confidence and purpose.
P31GIRLS has engaged mentors, speakers, interns, and volunteers from organizations and institutions including:
-
Bowie State University
-
Georgetown University
-
Miss America Organization affiliates
-
Local business and community leaders
Together, these women bring diverse experiences in education, leadership, public service, business, STEM, and community engagement, providing girls with meaningful examples of leadership in action.
