G.E.M.S., Girls Empowered by Morals and Standards, is a non-profit organization in Atlanta, Georgia  founded by Adriane Simmons.  The organization focuses on  the positive development of girls between the  ages 13 and 17.  Our mission is to provide teen girls with a positive and well rounded outlook on life. We accomplish this by involving our members in volunteer and social activities, developmental workshops, fundraising events and an annual trip that focuses on leadership and responsibility.

Afro Puffs and Ponytails is constantly searching for information about camps, clubs and organizations, and mentoring programs to provide as resources for parents and community organizers. It is our hopes that each resource provided will serve to build confidence, enhance self esteem, develop leadership skills, empower, uplift and educate our African American girls. We are not recommending these programs, but offering a starting point for you to conduct your own evaluation and research about whether a program is right for your child.
