ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT, INDIA

Girl Rising is a US based non-profit whose mission is to use the power of storytelling to change the way the world values girls and their education. Girl Rising began in 2009 as a campaign with a film at its center, profiling nine girls around the world, each defying the odds and confronting barriers to education. Over the last decade we have expanded both our storytelling and our work with local partners as well as deepened how we measure and evaluate our work.

We have three main pillars of our work:

• WE CREATE films, media content and educational resources that tell the stories of girls, the realities they face and the futures they desire- and the seismic ways in which educating girls transform families, communities and entire nations.
• WE COLLABORATE with organizations around the world to support locally led change that accelerates and strengthens quality education and greater opportunity for girls. In 2021, we worked with over 100 organizations across 12 countries, reaching an estimated 10 million girls and boys.
• WE ACTIVATE change by inspiring individuals, from parents to presidents, to support action for girls’ education and girls’ rights. We strive to change mindsets, norms and policy so that girls everywhere can go to school, rise and thrive.
