EFF Community Circle
Where Service, Leadership, and Sister/Brotherhood Come Alive.
The EFF Community Circle is the heart of our student community at Esther Funds Foundation. It brings together two signature affinity groups — Pretty Girls Who Serve (PGWS) for women and Chosen Men Who Serve (CMS) for men — to create a supportive, faith-led space for connection, service, leadership, and belonging.
This program is designed to help students build lifelong friendships, grow spiritually, and stay motivated on their college journey while working together to prevent college dropouts on their campuses and nationwide.
Pretty Girls Who Serve (PGWS)
About PGWS
Pretty Girls Who Serve is the women’s sisterhood inside the EFF Community Circle — a Christ-centered community of college women who serve, lead, and uplift each other while advancing EFF’s mission of college dropout prevention.
What PGWS Does
PGWS creates safe, warm, feminine spaces where women can connect, decompress, and find encouragement.
Our recent Dearest Woman of God Brunch brought together EFF members for prayer, fellowship, mentorship, and deep conversations about identity, purpose, and persistence in college.
These brunches help college women feel seen, supported, and spiritually strengthened — which is a big part of keeping them enrolled and encouraged.
Leads Gender-Specific Support
PGWS offers:
- Women-only meetings
- Bible studies
- Check-ins on mental health, faith, academics, and college stress
- Peer mentorship
- Accountability
- Leadership development
This creates a safe space for women to grow spiritually and academically while navigating the pressures of college life.
Hosts the Annual PGWS National Scholarship Competition
Each year, PGWS runs a powerful sisterhood-led scholarship competition that:
- Crowns the national PGWS queen
- Awards scholarships
- Raises thousands of dollars for emergency grants and EFF programs
- Builds leadership among contestants
- Creates awareness for EFF across campuses
This competition is one of the most impactful fundraising and awareness events of the year and continues to grow nationally.
Fundraises to Support EFF’s Mission
PGWS actively helps raise money for:
- EFF emergency grants
- Scholarships
- Chapter funding
- National initiatives
- Dropout-prevention programs
Every dollar raised helps a student stay in school.
PGWS is known across campuses as “The Friends of EFF” because they show up for the mission, support EFF events, and champion the work behind the scenes.
How to Join PGWS
Open to all female EFF members across all EFF chapters.
Chosen Men Who Serve (CMS)
Building Men of Integrity, Purpose, and Service
Chosen Men Who Serve is the men’s brotherhood within the EFF Community Circle — a growing community of male students committed to leadership, service, character, and academic success.
CMS is designed to give men a space to connect, serve, and support EFF’s mission of preventing college dropouts, especially among male students who often face unique pressures in college.
Brotherhood & Support
CMS creates a safe space for young men to:
- Build brotherhood
- Talk about college stress, mental health, and life transitions
- Support each other spiritually and academically
- Grow into leaders on their campus.
Service & Leadership
Members participate in EFF service events and community initiatives.
As CMS grows, more leadership roles and service projects will be added chapter by chapter.
