Founder

Glenda Gill is a passionate leader and advocate dedicated to empowering the next generation of women. Throughout her career, she has closed gaps and built bridges through economic development with distressed communities around the nation. She founded Save A Girl, Save a World to provide younger generations of women, both teens and college students, with mentorship, guidance, and opportunities to thrive

By bringing together a national network of accomplished women, Gill created a platform that helps young women build confidence, shatter stereotypes, and grow into leaders who impact their communities and beyond.

The mission is deeply personal. Save A Girl, Save A World’s work is also inspired by Gill’s late best friend, Kathleen "Kathi" Lynn Marie Wilkes, a trailblazing entrepreneur who had a deep love for youth. Her spirit lives on through the Kathi Wilkes Scholarship, awarded annually to support young women in achieving their dreams. Through Gill’s leadership, the organization continues to champion a future where every girl knows she matters and has the tools to thrive.
