For International Women’s Day and beyond, let’s clear a path for girls to lead

Lean In Girls is proud to partner with International Women’s Day to equip adults, educators, and caregivers with resources to #GiveToGain for girls.

As part of this collaboration, we’re sharing practical resources for empowering girls to push back against stereotypes and limiting beliefs, helping them build the confidence and resilience to embrace their full potential.
 

Bring Lean In Girls to Your Organization

We're inviting schools and communities to make a lasting commitment to girls’ leadership development by bringing the Lean In Girls curriculum to their organization. When adults invest in girls’ growth and potential, everyone gains.

At the heart of the Lean In Girls program is a 15-session curriculum available to any school or youth-serving organization. Through engaging activities and interactive discussions, girls will discover their voice and build essential leadership skills — like reframing failure, taking positive risks, and setting bold goals.

Committed to raising empowered girls

Lean In Girls is a leadership program that helps girls see themselves as leaders in a world that often tells them they’re not.

The curriculum is designed to equip girls to be self-assured, resilient, and inclusive everyday leaders and inspire them to lead boldly. With support from the Lean In Girls community, the program aims to remove the obstacles in girls’ way and encourage them to lead on their own terms.
 

At the heart of Lean In Girls is a curriculum for girls and young teens who identify with the girlhood experience (ages 11 to 15).

With a balance of strength-building activities and real talk on important topics like bias and allyship, participants learn to embrace their leadership superpowers and reject stereotypes about what girls can’t do.

Research shows the emphasis on leadership strengths and real talk is empowering and protective for girls.

When girls are introduced to a more expansive definition of leadership, they’re more likely to see themselves as leaders.

When girls know how to identify and push back against unfair treatment, they’re less likely to internalize limiting messages and blame themselves when they experience bias.

And when girls take positive risks and learn new skills, they can feel a powerful sense of agency and accomplishment.
