This Giving Tuesday, Athena’s Warehouse invites you to help us turn potential into power. Through our Discover Your Inner Warrior program, we help teen girls from Title I schools discover their voices, practice self-care, and develop the confidence to lead.
When a girl discovers her voice, she discovers her power.
For Destiny, that moment came during a Discover Your Inner Warrior workshop at Athena’s Warehouse. She had never tried yoga before, but when the instructor asked her to close her eyes and breathe, something inside her shifted.
“I saw green grass, a windy summer day, and the star that always appeared each night. That was the day I saw my true self.”
Through Athena’s Warehouse, Destiny learned to find calm within chaos—to pause, breathe, and choose herself. She built confidence through self-care, volunteered in her community, and gained the courage to lead. Now, she’s the first in her family to attend college, carrying her inner peace and strength with her wherever she goes.
For Edom, Athena’s Warehouse opened doors she never knew existed.
“Athena's Warehouse was an unforgettable and welcoming learning experience for me. It introduced so many new topics, real-world lessons, and relationships I wouldn't have known or formed on my own. It's an experience I look back on frequently because a lot of those lessons come up again in my everyday life.”
Through workshops and mentorship, Edom gained not just academic preparation—but life skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging. She learned about wellness, boundaries, and self-advocacy, lessons often left out of traditional education.
“You should support Athena’s Warehouse because a lot of adolescent girls are left in the dark when it comes to their future—whether it’s what to do after college or how to take care of their own bodies. Having Athena’s Warehouse in places like Cross Keys, where dropout rates are higher, provides women and nonbinary students with a plan and a mentor to leave high school with. That alone can change a life.”
Together, Destiny and Edom represent the pearls of power Athena’s Warehouse helps cultivate—girls who shine from within because they’ve been given the space, support, and sisterhood to grow.
This Giving Tuesday, you can help string another pearl on the necklace of empowerment. Your donation supports the next generation of girls who are ready to breathe, believe, and boldly become who they were meant to be.

"Athena's Warehouse was an unforgettable and welcoming learning experience for me. It introduced so many new topics, real-world lessons, and relationships I wouldn't have known or formed on my own. It's an experience I look back on frequently because a lot of those lessons come up again in my everyday life, and I'm grateful to have had Athena's Warehouse give me the tools to not only be ahead but to feel more prepared in college and in life. You should support AW because a lot of adolescent girls are left in the dark when it comes to their future, whether it's what to do after college or how to take care of their own bodies. Some girls don't have family members willing to have important conversations about safe sex or physical abuse, exposing them to those very dangers. Having AW in places like Cross Keys, where dropout rates are higher, can provide women and nonbinary students with a plan and a mentor to leave high school with. Just this on its own can greatly lead to a student's success."

"Since my sophomore year, I’ve stayed after school at Athena’s Warehouse to participate in workshops that I believe will help me in the future. Through them, I’ve learned responsibility, volunteering, gaining experience, and making new friends. Self-care was another challenge. I had never used lip gloss or tried other things that could make me feel more confident. But I decided to try, and that included learning to care for myself, including what I eat.
Most importantly, I found courage. When I first heard about Athena’s Warehouse, I thought it would be boring. But once I joined, I realized it wasn’t bad at all. Ms. DeCosta encouraged me to participate because it was a space for girls, and in that space, I felt safe enough to express myself without fear or shame."
