Women & Girls

Advancing the priorities and rights of women and girls

TCC Group works with foundations, nonprofits, and companies to help narrow the gender gap and break new ground for cis- and trans women and girls.

Blending knowledge grounded in theory and practice, supported efforts embrace a broad range of issues from health equity to education and economic well-being. Our engagements with partners on the local, national, and global level have also encompassed a wealth of strategies to advance change—such as direct service, leadership development, research, advocacy, and community building.

TCC’s efforts have guided initiatives explicitly focused on gender rights as well as ensured that efforts focused on other populations incorporate a “gender lens” into their work so that the distinct interests, priorities, and needs of women and girls are integrated into broader strategies to advance change.

“TCC Group has a lot of knowledge about youth development, disadvantaged youth development, girls, and women’s issues. They not only interviewed but studied other youth development organizations, which helped us get a look at the external landscape. That was really helpful.”

Judy Vredenburgh, President & CEO, Girls Inc.

“The youth program was our organization’s first country-level program. TCC Group really helped lay out a foundation how for we were going to define and track our advocacy work, which helped other parts of the organization figure out how to do the same thing.”

Cecilia Zvosec, Former Senior Associate, Women Deliver
