The Girls’ Network aims to inspire and empower girls aged 14-19 from the least advantaged communities by connecting them to a mentor and a network of positive role models who are women.
We believe that no girls should have their futures limited by their gender, ethnicity, background, or parental income.
We believe that all girls should be supported to realise their ambitions, to discover their self-worth, and to develop their capacity to shape their world and their future.
How we do it
We partner with secondary schools and colleges across London, Merseyside, Portsmouth, Southampton, Sussex, Tees Valley, Tyne & Wear and the West Midlands, to match girls aged 14-19 with a volunteer mentor who is a woman.
All our mentors go through an application process and are trained by us in mentoring and safeguarding. Once mentees complete their year-long mentoring journey, they graduate and become part of a lifelong Ambassador Community.
