About Local Chapters
Sisterhood in Your Hometown
Grit & Grace Local Chapters are where leadership becomes lived experience. These monthly, in-person gatherings for girls ages 8–18 are an extension of the Grit & Grace Online Leadership Academy, bringing its curriculum to life in a vibrant, face-to-face, nurturing environment.
Led by trained adult mentors and guided by student leaders, chapters create space for Grit & Grace girls to practice the values they’re learning in the Academy while forming friendships and serving their communities. It’s leadership with purpose, that produces joy, and a whole lot of FUN.

Local Chapter Experience
What Happens in a Chapter?
Each month, girls come together for fun, student-led meetings focused on character-building, communication skills, sisterhood, etiquette, and service. While every chapter looks a little different based on the local community, the core is the same: Connection. Growth. Service. Fun.
The Grit & Grace Chapter Experience includes:
Etiquette and life skills
Positive friendships
Fun, uplifting activities
Community service
Emotional intelligence and equine therapy
Girls leave each meeting with practical tools for life and a stronger sense of who they are and how to lead.

Grit & Grace Nation is growing and we’re looking for passionate women to help lead the way.

You bring the heart. We’ll bring the tools.

A Nationwide Sisterhood
Every chapter is connected to something bigger: the Online Grit & Grace Leadership Academy, where girls ages 12–18 meet weekly online with founder Fanchon Stinger and international leadership expert Stacy James along with positive role-models and powerful women in every walk of life for deep mentorship, curriculum-based learning, and measurable personal growth.
Chapters give girls a way to take what they’re learning in the Academy and put it into practice in their schools, homes, and communities together.
