We’ve just concluded an energizing session with mentors from our Partner Coalition on supporting girl-led advocacy! 💪🏾 We explored how to center girls’ voices, share power, and walk with them, not ahead of them. #GirlLedAdvocacy #ShestheFirst

Our Girl-Centered Incubator Fellows are workshopping ways to build assets for girls in their communities. What is a community-driven, asset-based approach, you ask? #GirlsFirst

The GCI Fellows are brainstorming ways to build on the assets the girls in their programs already possess. What assets do the girls in your programs currently have? What is one way you could build on that asset to help her choose her own future?

Today, grassroots leaders come together to learn how to design girl-centered, girl-led programs, especially around sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Let’s build stronger programs that truly listen to girls. #GirlsFirst #GirlHour #WWYDGame

In order for us to understand how to create for and with girls, we developed the #GirlHour, a session where girls share their insights as experts to practitioners, suggest solutions, and discuss issues that affect their peers. #GirlsFirst

Girls know best what they need. During #GirlHour, they lead the conversations, sharing real stories and powerful insights that help us design better programs that actually work for them. #GirlsFirst

When girls speak, we listen—and learn. #GirlHour gives them the mic to shape the solutions they need, not what we assume. Real stories. Real leadership. Real impact. #GirlsFirst #GirlsFirstSummit She's the First

Girls are not a monolith. We’re exploring how intersectionality—from age and disability to ethnicity and geography—shapes girls’ access to #SRHR services. Programs must be inclusive, equitable, and tailored. 🌍 #GirlsFirst #InclusionMatters

We know firsthand that girls' organizations are often under-resourced (whether in money, staff, or time). That's why we provide tools and resources free of charge. Access them here: shesthefirst.org/girls-first-in… #GirlsFirst
