8th Annual Back-to-School Clothing Drive
FLYGURLZCLUB’s annual Back-to-School Clothing Drive isn’t your typical clothing giveaway—it’s a celebration of self-expression, identity, and sisterhood. Each summer, we host a free pop-up experience where high school girls can shop racks of gently worn and new clothing with our stylists & Glam Squad.
It’s about more than just outfits. It’s about helping girls step into the school year feeling seen, confident, and empowered. Our amazing team of volunteers and community partners come together to create an uplifting, judgment-free, and safe space for girls to express themselves and explore different styles.
Powered by grassroots support, this unique and impactful celebration of self- expression transforms the lives of young girls with dignity, self-love, and confidence.

“I couldn’t afford to go back to school shopping for both girls this year so when my oldest high schooler came home and told me about todays event, she begged me to sign both her and her sister up. You all have NO idea how much this meant to not only myself but to my two daughters!!“
“One of the many reasons that I love FGC is that we are able to provide unique and creative open space environments for younger generations to connect and share their stories. On top of that, many of the fellow volunteers are passionate, smart, and beautifully spoken ladies. I am super proud to be a part of FLYGURLZCLUB and will continue to support.“
