How Does Girls Belong Here Work?
To adapt to our current reality, Girls Belong Here shifted to an all-digital platform while ensuring we main-tain the quality and integrity of the program. We have designed the virtual program to provide even more spaces for girl ambassadors (ages 14 – 24) to share their voices, stories, ideas and solutions with lead-ers and organizations. The seat shares, innovation hubs and speaker series take place between Sep-tember and October over a period of days. We will be monitoring the state of the world closely to see if and when a hybrid model will be feasible.
With the implementation of seat shares, innovation hubs, speaker series and consumer activations, more partners and youth ambassadors are able to participate in the program.
IN 2021, THESE CORPORATIONS TOOK PART IN THE GIRLS BELONG HERE PROGRAM
This year, the Girls Belong Here program incorporated new elements including innovation hubs and speaker series. We had 17 partners participate and over 40 Youth Ambassadors join in across Canada, the United States, Sweden and Switzerland. By empowering girls today and publicly standing beside them, we will help to foster a generation of girls and women who will break barriers, challenge stereotypes and contribute to our global economy and society.
