We fight for a world where every girl can choose her own future.
She’s the First teams up with grassroots leaders to make sure girls everywhere are educated, respected, and heard.
Over the past 14 years, we’ve created transformational outcomes for 563,741 girls by working alongside 685 community organizations in 42 countries.
We teach a girl how to speak up for herself in her home, school, and community, while we teach the mentors in her life practical ways to support her agency. As a result, these girls become the first women in their families to achieve amazing milestones—and they are never the last.
Our Approach
We use girl-centered design—“nothing about us without us”—to build girls’ power.
Activism Training for Girls
As organizers of The Global Girls’ Bill of Rights®, we believe in supporting girls to advocate for themselves. We give them the tools, training, and platform to do so.
Organizational Strengthening
We build the skills of women who run community programs for girls, to create systems-level change that leads to stronger outcomes.
Mentorship and Education Programs
We invest in programs that directly support girls’ agency in the Global South, so they have decision-making power over their lives.
Our Impact
We’ve created transformational outcomes for 563,741 girls by working alongside 685 community organizations in 42 countries.
7,409 girls engage with our activism training and tools annually in 23 countries. Girls currently run 122 STF Campus chapters.
85% of the women we train report making meaningful changes in their programs to better center girls’ needs within 3 months.
Everything we do takes a girl-centered and anti-oppressive approach.
