Positively Empowering And Restoring Ladies Self-Esteem, (PEARLS), Inc. is a Cleveland-based non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing and empowering girls through innovative support.
​
We believe every girl deserves to feel absolutely confident and ready for the world. Since 2020, PEARLS has been relentlessly dedicated to equipping young women with the wraparound resources and confidence-building opportunities they need to thrive.
​
It all begins with access and confidence. We start by offering community workshops and building our PEARLS Girls Studio, focused on eliminating clothing insecurity and providing the style resources you need. This ensures you feel great, ready for anything, and equipped with that first feeling of radical self-worth.
​
Our vision is to ensure every girl achieves radical self-worth, making sure she steps into the world feeling great and ready for anything.

aboutus
Imagine: Walking into a new space and instantly feeling seen. Imagine the confidence that comes with knowing you look your best, without the crushing worry of cost. This feeling of radical self-worth is what the PEARLS Style Studio is built upon.
​
We are a curated thrift boutique providing tween and teen girls with zero-cost access to high-quality, gently used clothing and essential hygiene products. We remove the financial barrier to dignity so girls can focus on growth.
​
Beyond the wardrobe, we offer our Mentoring Style Network. Girls who choose to participate are paired with a Journey Partner for 12 months of structured mentorship focused on building self-advocacy and leadership skills.
​
At PEARLS, we believe that when material dignity meets sustained direction, girls thrive. The next mentorship cohort begins March 8th.
