21. American Heritage Girls History
Founded in 1995
West Chester, Ohio
American Heritage Girls was founded in 1995 in West Chester, Ohio by a group of parents wanting a wholesome character development program for their daughters. These parents were disillusioned with the increasing secular focus of existing organizations for girls. They wanted a Judeo-Christian focused organization for their daughters and believed that other parents were looking for the same for their daughters. This became the catalyst for the birth of the organization we have come to know as the American Heritage Girls.

22. What is AHG all about?
Christ-centered, non-profit character development ministry
Dedicated to mission
Six program emphases
Interdenominational
AHG partners to accomplish its mission
American Heritage Girls is a Christ-centered non-profit character development ministry for girls ages 5 – 18, dedicated to its mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. The AHG program is built upon six Program Emphases that address the spiritual, mental, physical and social needs of today’s young woman. The American Heritage Girls is an interdenominational ministry which believes in partnering with local Christian churches, para-church organizations and private schools in order to accomplish its mission.
