Girl Rising's global movement is powered by a diverse community of students, teachers, Future Rising Fellows,
community leaders who are united in their commitment to champion girls' rights and their access to education. Together, we work to dismantle barriers that stand in the way of girls’ education, amplify the voices of young leaders and advocate for the actions needed for a more equitable world.
The Girl Rising Global Community
Engaging Students
as Changemakers
Girl Rising engages students worldwide to take an active role in advocating for gender equality and education through our Student Ambassador program. Our Student Ambassadors are equipped with the knowledge and tools to identify challenges in their communities and drive solutions through educational workshops, mentorship opportunities, and access to a global network of student advocates. They learn to use their voices and creativity to address issues like child marriage, gender-based violence, and access to quality education—transforming from learners to leaders.
Supporting Educators
to Foster Change
Teachers play a critical role in shaping the next generation. Girl Rising collaborates with educators globally, offering resources and training that integrate themes of gender equality, empowerment, and resilience into classroom learning. These resources inspire dialogue about societal norms and empower young people to challenge stereotypes and advocate for inclusive, equitable communities.
Championing Future Rising Fellows to Drive Sustainability and Equality
Future Rising Fellows are working at the intersection of gender equality and climate action. These young leaders are tackling issues such as climate-induced displacement, education gaps, and economic inequities by spotlighting the link between girls’ education and sustainable development. Their stories and solutions inspire others and highlight the critical role girls and women play in building a better, more equitable future.
Partnering with Community Leaders
Local leaders are essential in breaking down the barriers girls face every day. Girl Rising works hand-in-hand with grassroots organizations and community leaders who understand the unique challenges their communities face. Together, they implement culturally relevant programs to address harmful practices like early marriage and limited educational access, ensuring that solutions are both impactful and sustainable.
