All Grown Up, more lovingly referred to as, AGU, is a youth organization dedicated to helping young girls and maturing teens develop into womanhood. Tangi Gantt and Shari Ponder, two former Georgia Public School Guidance Counselors founded AGU in 1999. All Grown Up was created as a pathway to lower the amount of discipline referrals, dress code violations, suicide and teen pregnancy rates, as well as, substance abuse and drug usage among students in the school system.


AGU focuses on several interactive developmental workshops and learning programs that encourage constructive behavior and healthy living. AGU has reached over 1000 students and has been adopted into several middle schools, high schools, churches, and teen community centers. AGU is continuously growing and expanding in efforts to reach women worldwide.


AGU strives to:
"Provide a realistic, factual, confidential, and loving support system where participants can freely discuss their common issues without being judged.

Change the prospective of the participants from harboring negative self focused issues to affecting positive change in their communities through service.

Offer a constructive outlet that takes the place of "hanging out" in the streets, engaging in sexual activity or experimenting with drugs.

Teach participants how to discern the positive from the negative options/outlets.

Increase participants abilities to make good choices by providing fun and interactive workshops that develop skills such as money management, self esteem, diversity, conflict resolution, technology, etiquette, health, college preparation, and career awareness.


Mission:
The mission of the AGU program is to positively impact the community by promoting the health, social, educational, vocational, and character development of teen and pre teen females through empowering workshops and guidance activities.

Vision:
We envision an organization that provides service and guidance to young women nationwide that fosters wisdom, grace, and service.
