Building a world where every girl is
educated, respected, heard.
Through our Council, Fellowships and Chapters, we support girl leaders and grow their networks.
Driving Lasting Change
Girl Rising uses the power of storytelling, education and mentorship across three programmes that work powerfully together - with girls, in schools, and in communities.
Through our Girls Leadership Programmes, RISE Education Programme, and the Girls First Institute, we support adolescents, educators, families, and locally-led organisations to expand opportunity and remove the barriers that stand in the way of girls’ aspirations.
Girls at the Centre
Girls are at the centre of all we do. We listen to girls, learn with them, and work alongside the people that shape their daily lives for lasting change.
Our programmes engage girls along with boys, teachers, parents, schools and community organisations to shift norms and strengthen girls’ network of allies.
Girls’ priorities and aspirations shape our programmes—ensuring everything we do reflects what matters most to them.
Centre girls. Shift systems. Spark change.
