Conducted in conjunction with Fluent, a New York-based research firm, and Girl Scouts of the USA, Change It Up! What Girls Say About Redefining Leadership presents findings from a national study of over 4,000 girls and boys on leadership with answers to these very same questions and more. The findings bring to light how girls and boys define leadership; their experiences, aspirations, and fears with respect to leadership; and, predictors of leadership aspiration. Gender, race/ethnicity, age, and income are explored in their relationship to girls' and boys' leadership aspirations, experiences, and identities.
