PROGRAMS OVERVIEW
OUR IMPACT
In Her Shoes Foundation's (IHSF) programs are focused on supporting and uniting women and girls through education, professional development, and community impact.
*IHSF Speaks
*IHSF Speaks has two main goals:
To provide a community of therapists committed to bringing a safe space to young girls seeking therapy
To fundraise for providing these therapy sessions for free
Our *IHSF Speaks Therapy Collective removes the financial and social barriers to accessing therapy. Through our partnership with Counseling Speaks, members of our community have access to a comprehensive list of mental health professionals, who are ready to provide high-quality services that meet the needs of everyone’s unique circumstances.
Ready Set Girls Academy
The flagship Ready Set Girls Academy (RSGA) program empowers teen girls to live their best possible lives. The goal is to give young women the positive tools to navigate the pressures and expectations they encounter in today’s society.
The curriculum-based program is structured around four themes: leadership, healthy living, social skills and lifestyle.
Currently on hold due to COVID-19

Ready Set Women Academy Program
In Her Shoes Foundation’s (IHSF) Ready Set Women Academy Program brings together, motivate, empower, and inspire women from all walks of life to promote positive professional growth. Curriculum topics include leadership, work-life balance, negotiation, management, and lifestyle, providing the strength and skills to develop and thrive throughout your career endeavors.
Giving Back
IHSF's Giving Back program was born from our volunteers’ wish to give back to the local community in a variety of ways. The program connects IHSF with a broad array of community projects offered through partnering organizations and other not-for-profits, allowing us to provide “hands on” opportunities to impact our neighborhoods and those in need throughout Chicagoland.
