Lean In Girls

A leadership program designed to empower girls 11–15 years old.

Real Talk.

Here at Children’s Museum of Franklin, we’re passionate about the importance of empowering girls.

The Lean In Girls curriculum, a subset of Sheryl Sandbergs original Lean In program, was established in 2023 as a “leadership program that helps girls see themselves as leaders in a world that often tells them they’re not.”

Over the course of the program, through strength-building activities and discussion, participants will learn resilience, confidence, and inclusivity.

Each session will feature a successful female leader, including Massachusetts State Senator, Rebecca Rausch.
