GGU Summer Leadership Academy

Leadership and Community

When girls from around the globe come together something magical happens. They recognize themselves in each other, and feel energized and empowered. Now, connect those girls with successful female leaders — strong women at the top of their games in business, sports, politics, science, and the arts, and that level of power and energy skyrockets.

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.

Thanks to GGU for the opportunities. It's helping her to form her personality and her career."
