Our Mission


The Mean Girl Extinction Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to end girl on girl bullying. We strive to raise awareness and encourage girls to create a culture of kindness in girl world through hands on assemblies, workshops, service projects and our upcoming Girl Tough interactive journal. In addition, we are a resource for parents and educators who are key partners in helping to support a healthy community for girls.  We acknowledge girl bullying is unique, therefore we utilize our distinct voice in order to eradicate the mean girl mentality and cultivate kindness in girl world.


Our Story

The Mean Girl Extinction Project, (TMGEP) was founded in 2013 to address the rise in relational aggression among girls on school campuses. Relational aggression, also known as girl bullying is often covert and undercover, making it hard for parents and educators to recognize. TMGEP began as local online support for girls being mistreated, but soon became a trusted resource for parents, educators and girls being mistreated, helping them navigate the growing epidemic of relational aggression. In 2014 TMGEP became a 501(C)3 non-profit organization providing programming for girls to girls. We empower girls to recognize relational aggression and their responsibility in girl world and equip them, so they can cultivate healthy female relationships in their social circles.

"I was one of the teachers at the Mean Girl assembly you held at our school! I really loved how open and honest you were with the girls-that makes it have a much longer lasting effect on the girls because it’s real to them that wayI LOVED the activity at the end. I actually participated, and the girls seemed to appreciate all of the things that peers, friends and strangers wrote on them. I have heard students talking about it since, so I know that the positivity stuck with them."

"As the parent of four, I have often been faced with issues of relational aggression. After a particularly challenging situation with one of my daughters arose, I sought out The Mean Girl Extinction Project as a resource for tools to help myself and my daughter handle the situation. To better understand and identify relational aggression, Shaylene took the time to meet with me. She helped me to recognize some of the legal actions I could take as a parent and how to best advocate for my daughter. In addition, I was able to bring the Combat Mean workshop for girls to the school my daughter attended. I am thankful for Shaylene and The Mean Girl Extinction Project!"
