Girls Athletic Leadership School Los Angeles (GALS LA) is a first-of-its-kind all-girls middle school preparing a generation of young women to become confident, capable leaders of their own lives. Integrating an innovative health and wellness curriculum that addresses the unique emotional and physical needs of adolescent girls, GALS LA uses daily movement and athletics to help girls build confidence, boost self-esteem, and find joy.
NFF leveraged our Department of Education credit enhancement grant program to support our $4.4 million facility construction loan to GALS LA. This charter school financing helped advance construction efforts for GALS LA’s new permanent facility, a move which will allow them to serve up to 330 students – a remarkable 108% increase from their current campus capacity.
NFF was a catalyst for GALS LA’s newly-opened and custom-built campus, which provides GALS LA with a permanent home optimized for our unique school model. From our first warm introduction, it’s been evident that NFF is tirelessly working for the success of their partners.
The new campus includes 17 classrooms, a dance studio, conference room, multipurpose room, and administrative offices.
