Lady Bound is a mentoring and leadership non-profit organization that focuses on girls in grades 6-12.  Lady Bound was founded by Essence Magazine and State of Ohio award-winning educator Tequila Pennington-Calwise in 2006 in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. We empower girls to create and maintain a positive, healthy life-style which includes self-awareness, self-esteem, positive decision-making, college and career readiness, healthy relationships, tutoring, community service, exposure activities and much more.   Lady Bound has active chapters at Euclid Park School, Charles Brush High School and Collinwood High School.  For more information about open enrollment for our summer virtual and in-person programming, please contact us at [email protected].
