Global Fund for Women 2023 Adolescent Girls Advisory Council Program

Global Fund for Women is looking for young feminist activists to join the Adolescent Girls Advisory Council (AGAC). Global Fund for Women is a global feminist fund that envisions a world where movements for gender justice have transformed power and privilege for a few into equity and equality for all.

We fund bold, ambitious, and expansive gender justice movements to create meaningful change that will last beyond our lifetimes.

Today, Global Fund for Women wants to ensure that the needs, ideas, and solutions of girls—cis, transgender, and gender non-conforming—are at the center of our work and governance. We firmly believe that girls are experts of their own lives. Who else are the best guides to shape our girl-focused work than girls themselves!

The Adolescent Girls Advisory Council (AGAC) plays a critical role in finding, funding, and amplifying girl-led groups and expanding their leadership, activism, and movement-building.
