As of January 2018, the organization has provided scholarships for more than 1,100 girls across 11 countries, while supporting the efforts of 225 independent campus chapters.[1] MissionShe's the First (STF) addresses gender inequality through educational campaigns and scholarships. Chapters across the globe raise money for this inequality to eventually support young women in low-income countries that will be the first from their families to graduate high school. In addition, STF focuses on creating awareness for gender inequalities within local communities and the greater world as well as fighting this injustice.[2] HistoryShe's the First launched November 1, 2009, as a social media campaign centered on a YouTube video featuring the singer JoJo. Following an enthusiastic response to the campaign, in July 2011, She's the First became an official 501(c)(3) organization. It ran entirely on volunteer efforts up until May 2012, when co-founder Tammy Tibbetts was hired as its first employee in the role of CEO.[4] Brandt soon followed, becoming the organization's Chief Programs Officer. Since 2015, She's the First has continuously exceeded one million dollars in annual revenue, attracting support from Glamour’s The Girl Project, NoVo Foundation, Andrew & Ann Tisch Foundation, Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation, American Express Foundation, and Unilever, among others. She’s the First now reaches millions around the world and has directly supported more than 930 STF scholars in 11 countries, including medical expense coverage, school supplies and mentorship. The non-profit has also made its footprint in over 225 campus chapters at high schools and universities across the country—the first at Syracuse University—as well as in other nations, highlighting advocacy for issues affecting girls and women worldwide, awareness, and fundraising. Philosophy & ApproachShe’s the First focuses their efforts into three main areas. Firstly, education for women takes priority. The young women receiving the scholarships will be provided with enough funds to reach graduation. Additionally, the “scholars” attend school and after-school programs with several local partner non-governmental organizations. Secondly, STF utilizes mentorship to maximize chances that the scholars succeed. These mentors have experience with similar challenges to those that the young scholars will face. Lastly, the STF model focuses on a Global Leadership Curriculum that allows chapter members all across the globe to learn more about gender equality. In an article published by The Lily, co-founders Tammy Tibbetts and Christen Brandt share the She's the First philosophy, explaining why She's the First calls itself a non-profit, for-purpose, or NGO (non-governmental organization), as opposed to a charity: “In the cultures and communities where we serve, when you give a girl the opportunity to be the first in her community to go to high school, you’re also asking that she be the one to stand up when others question why it should be her. You’re asking her to take on the burden of being the oldest, unmarried woman in her family, with all of the stigma that is often attached to that. You’re asking her to become the family’s main breadwinner and to navigate how to handle the family’s debts and financial challenges. And she steps up.” A crucial part of the organization's approach is working alongside locally led, quality programs to support girls who will lead the charge in improving their lives and communities.[3] Results & ImpactShe's the First has sponsored over 1000 female scholars across the globe, equipping them with thorough scholarships and mentorship that they need to succeed. Additionally, over 300 crowd fundraisers have been started by chapter members all across the US. Lastly, with over 200 chapters across the US and beyond, STF has greatly broadened their impact in recent years.[4] Top ProgramsScholarshipsShe's the First provides comprehensive need- and merit-based scholarships to girls in low-income countries through their secondary school (high school) graduation. As of January 2018, the organization has provided more than 3,350 scholarships for more than 930 girls around the world. The amount needed to cover educational expenses for one girl—including books, uniforms, room and board and mentorship—ranges between $400 and $1400, varying by where she lives, the school, and her education level. She's the First hosts an online directory of NGOs with scholarship programs which they have vetted and stay in year-round contact with to track the girls' progress. They connect donors with these programs to arrange the scholarship.[7] She's the First currently holds 11 partnerships in 10 countries: Western AfricaStarfish International, The Gambia Eastern AfricaSelamta Family Project, Ethiopia Akili Dada, Kenya AfricAid’s Kisa Project, Tanzania Arlington Academy of Hope, Uganda Project Education Sudan, South Sudan Latin AmericaStarfish One by One, Guatemala Sacred Valley Project, Peru South AsiaShanti Bhavan Children's Project, India Kopila Valley Children's School (founded by Maggie Doyne), Nepal Global CitizenshipCampus Chapters:She's the First has established college and high school chapters across the United States and several other countries, recognized officially as She's the First Campus chapters. The organization connects students with STF Scholars and provides leadership training.[5 The first She's the First Campus chapter was founded at Syracuse University, followed soon after by the University of Notre Dame and Hofstra University. To date, 225 independent campus chapters have been established in the United States, Canada, Nicaragua, China, and New Zealand.
