We Are G.R.O.W.T.H.

GROWTH NC serves all youth and their families through community-based programs in education, wellness, leadership development , and the arts. Through G.R.O.W.T.H, we provide mentorship and leadership development exclusively for girls. G.R.O.W.T.H., an acronym for Girls Rising Over What They Hear, is a non-profit organization co-founded by Asha Freeland-James and Taylor Dorsey-Flowers, both natives of Durham and lifelong friends. United by a shared passion for uplifting young girls and contributing to their community. The organization's mission is centered on reaching, inspiring, supporting, and empowering.

Our Vision

The founders of G.R.O.W.T.H. have testified how strong women have poured into their lives and helped them in unmeasurable ways. The "it takes a village" mindset brings to fruition the African Philosophy Ubuntu,

"I am because we are."

The founders recognize this form of Ubuntuism, so with a thankful heart, they created G.R.O.W.T.H., so that they can pour into the lives of young girls as their village did for them.
