About Us

Discovery Girls is a destination where tween girls can connect with other girls and discover helpful tips for handling life’s ups and downs.

Discovery Girls articles and features are written by girls, for girls--which means our content touches on topics that really matter to tweens. Our goal is to help girls grow and develop, forming a positive sense of self through solutions that build confidence, resilience and independence.

  • Created by girls, for girls ages 8-12

2010 also marked a huge milestone for us! We celebrated 10 successful years of empowering girls and inspiring them to be more confident and love who they are. To celebrate and say thank you to those who have supported us through the years, we created a video about our passion, the staff who works so hard to create the magazine and YOU the readers!

Letter from the Founder

"I started Discovery Girls when my daughter Alexa was eight, because I wanted her middle-school years to be different from mine. I remembered how alone I felt when I was her age. It wasn’t until years later that I realized that other girls went through confusing times and struggled to fit in, too—I just hadn’t known it back then."
