Who can be a Girl Up Leader?

Middle school, high school, homeschooled students, university students, and even those in young professional groups can start a Girl Up Club! Your first step? Register for Girl Up’s online Community and check out existing Clubs in your part of the world, as well as instructions on how to start a Club of your own!

As our most active supporters, Girl Up Club members build toward a future of gender justice, accelerate social change, and improve the lives of girls and women around the world, empowering their communities near and far. Girl Up provides learning, tools, and a platform to help guide girls along their journey from leader to changemaker with specialized programming in organizing, advocacy, fundraising, and communications. Our innovative programming exposes youth leaders to issues at the intersections of gender justice and advocacy, sports, STEM, storytelling, and more – we position girls to be leaders across industries where women are underrepresented.

When girls and youth take part in Girl Up programs, they experience higher self-confidence, compassion, empathy, social collaboration and civic participation.
