Dana Kerford developed and launched the first-ever GirlPower friendship program, teaching her students how to foster a community of kindness and support. The girls embraced the program and learned how to have a voice in their friendships, improving the overall culture of the school. Then after extensive research on the social dynamics of boys, Dana launched GirlPower's brother program, GoodGuys in 2014 – the first-ever friendship program for boys.
