Every girl has the power to change the world. That’s what we believe at Girls Gearing Up. And that’s why, every summer, we welcome a diverse group of girls from around the world to our week-long girls leadership academy in Berlin, Germany.
Through team-building activities in the forests around Berlin to skill-building exercises at some of the city’s most vibrant corporate and creative spaces, the GGU program equips teenage girls with the confidence and skills they need to think critically, follow their dreams, and be the change they want to see in the world. We connect girls with powerful female mentors from across a vast landscape of industries, because we believe you have to see it to be it. But we also believe that strength comes from sisterhood and, by giving girls the opportunity to make lifelong friends from around the globe, we’re not only giving them the chance to speak about their own concerns but to listen to each other and boost each other up. At GGU every girl is heard, every girl has a voice, and no girl stands alone. So come on, girls! Each one of you can make an impact. Come and get equipped with the skills you need — because you are the next generation of global female leaders. The Girls Gearing Up International Leadership Academy 2020 - COVID-19 UPDATEBecause of the ongoing global crisis due to the spread of COVID-19, the Girls Gearing Up 2020 International Leadership Academy in Berlin was replaced by the Girls Gearing Up Leadership Academy - Virtual Campfire.
This eleven-week online program allowed our 2020 cohort to participate from the safety of their own homes in 11 countries around the world. Together, we explored the core Girls Gearing Up pillars - building an international network and growing confidence; practicing concrete leadership and communication skills; and inspiring girls to take action on issues that are important to them. It was an exciting and inspiring new journey of personal growth, community action, and international bridge building with the next generation of female leaders. Generous support for our 2020 program from:

"Because of what I learned in the leadership workshops I not only know what it means to be an empathetic and successful leader for a group, but also how to become part of it and support it at the same time."
- Serah, 17 |
"GGU rebuilds a girl from the inside - teaching her to love and accept herself, and to bravely face the world around her. I wish that all families could have this experience. They will not just see the difference in their daughters, they will feel it."
- Shahama, mother |
"GGU just brings out the best in me. I have learned how to take the skills I learned from GGU and apply them in my school life and my social life."
- Leandra, 14 |
