• Do you work with 14-19 year old girls?
• Are they eligible for pupil premium, free school meals, or in need of additional support?
• Do they need help to build confidence, discover their self-worth, and develop their capacity to shape their world and their futures?

The Girls’ Network supports girls aged 14-19 from underserved communities to recognise their potential and shape ambitious futures for themselves, by connecting them with a network of professional women role models. We believe no girl’s future should be limited by her background or parental income. 

Through workshops, mentoring, networking, and empowering experiences, we help girls to:

• Build self-belief and recognise their own strengths.
• Develop leadership and communication skills.
• Explore new career pathways and connect with inspiring role models.
• Overcome barriers and take ownership of their futures.

Watch this short film to hear some of our partner teachers reflect on the lasting impact our programmes have had for girls in their schools.

What we offer

Group Workshops - 2 pathways available (ages 14-16) 

Girls work in groups with a skilled TGN Network Manager who will help them recognise their key strengths, learn about the power of positive self-belief, and develop tools to support their well-being. Volunteer mentors and professional women may also contribute to these sessions.

Owning Your Potential Workshops (ages 16+)

Workshops that support girls to develop confidence, articulate their skills, interests and talents, and be able to talk about themselves in a positive way. Workshops offer insights into the world of work through round-table sessions with mentors.

1-to-1 Mentoring (from Autumn term)

Following participation on one of our workshop pathways girls can progress onto our 1-1 mentoring programme. Girls are matched with a mentor who has 3+ years’ professional experience. Together, they work on building soft skills, emotional intelligence, a greater awareness of opportunities, and a better understanding of the working world.

Ambassador Community

Young people who have participated in any activity with The Girls' Network will be invited to join our ambassador network. This community gives girls access to further careers advice, support and development opportunities, enhancing their employability skills.

For girls under 18, the following opportunities are available on an opt-in basis through this community:

• Ambassador Community Newsletter In-person events in partnership with schools (e.g. law conferences)

• Inspiration and updates via the closed AC Instagram page

• Access to Ambassador blogs 

• Watch The Girls' Network online workshops, interviews with professional women and community discussions on the Ambassador  YouTube channel

The Girls’ Network is helping young women believe in themselves and achieve their potential. The mentoring scheme is a fantastic way to empower young women, by connecting them to inspiring female role models. I cannot think of a better way to break down the barriers to girls getting on in life, whether in education or the workplace.
