​Imagine a day of fun, exploration and empowerment for girls.

​WorldWideWomen Girls’ Festivals are life-changing days of power and possibility for thousands of girls and their families. Our three festivals to date have attracted over 10,000 attendees across a broad spectrum of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. Our goal is to connect girls to organizations and services that support and empower their lives. Through our online global resource directory, which now includes over 6,000 organizations in 23 cities and 13 countries, and our local festivals, we bring inspiration, information, and powerful life-changing connections to girls and women worldwide. Our vision is to take the festivals on the road to major cities around the United States and the world.
