Girl Ambition is a website designed to prepare girls, ages 8-12, to make the right choices as they begin to explore the Internet’s social networking world. The secure site provides a safe Internet experience offering the latest web features used by today’s teens, while making them tween appropriate. As news of teen girls facing predators, bullies, porn and scams on social networking sites increases, parents grow more concerned. Children can’t be kept off the Internet – nor would parents want to: it’s a part of everyday life and it’s their world. Therefore, this site is created to provide a secure community for tween girls to share with each other, learn to do things they never thought possible and understand how to safely navigate the web with all its offerings. GirlAmbition.com offers up-to-date web technologies –such as “Youtube™-like videos,” secure social networking, music and games. The goal is to encourage girls to learn new things, express their individualism, and feel good about themselves. Girl Ambition launches in early 2008.
