US Educator Program
The US Educator Program brings Girl Rising’s powerful storytelling to the classroom, spurring students to see beyond their borders, value their education, think critically, and believe in their capacity to create change in their lives, their communities, and the world.
Girl Rising US Educator Program’s adaptable and flexible resources, designed for students in upper elementary through high school, have been used to teach subjects ranging from English to social studies to math to art. Whether in the classroom or as part of an extracurricular program, educators can teach directly from the materials, strengthen an existing lesson plan with select resources, or create a stimulating new unit.

Girl Rising aims to promote empathy among young people, spark their natural curiosity about the world, and inspire them to become global citizens and local change-makers.
“Girl Rising probably has had the greatest impact of anything I have ever taught because it teaches students about global citizenship, education rights, gender inequality, and how students are agents of change in their own lives, community and world.”
– Elise Regan, Sterling Middle School, Quincy MA
“I have seen my students think outside the box, make personal goals and strive to make a difference in their community because of what they have learned from Girl Rising.”
– Kelly Cassidy, Pepin Academy, Tampa FL
“Being able to work with the project has been one of the most meaningful and purposeful experiences that I’ve had as an educator and I believe in what each girl’s story embodies and stands for. Their voices and narratives need to be heard and I feel honored to be a part of making sure that this happens.”
– Kellie Thompson, YES Prep, Houston TX
