Girls Action builds the skills and confidence of girls from coast to coast, including inner city, remote, and Northern communities.
We provide spaces for women and girls to speak out, build skills, and create action on issues that are important and real to them.
We provide our members with publications, resources and practical support that help develop community initiatives and girls' programs.
By sharing our expertise on girls’ and young women’s programs, we ensure that the work to make their world better never stops.
