Non-profit organization with a mission to help girls be future ready! Founded by Zofia Kierner.

About us

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting teenage girls and students to overcome global challenges and develop international careers. Our 5 international programs impact over 80,000 young women annually. Our founder Zofia Kierner started our first program, Girls English Ready, at 8 years old through which we have now collected and donated over 50,000 English resources for underprivileged schools, orphanages, and hospitals. Our Girls Global Ready program annually connects 100 girls from Poland with English-speaking mentors from the US to encourage a global mindset. Our HerStory Program gives girls access to mentors from fields that develop tangible projects through which they gain experience that they can put on their resumes. Our Masterclasses have inspired and taught over 500 girls about different future career fields. For the fight against stereotypical thinking of girls, and influencing systematic changes in the Polish educational system, Zofia Kierner named the most influential activist by Vogue and a Rising Star Ambassador of Polish Innovation. But most importantly, as we know that network is everything, we have fostered a Girls Future Ready community which includes thousands of young girls that come together to develop crucial skills, focus on innovation, and make their mark on the world. Join us!

    PART 3/4 - "Youth Empowerment" This month has been filled with events that have triggered many of my reflections. I have decided to share them in 4 "parts" 😉 On the 14th of June, I had the pleasure of attending the Girls Future Ready Foundation Annual Gala, which celebrated another impactful year of the Foundation. I am truly delighted about our collaboration with the Girls Future Ready (GFR) foundation and the broad impact we are creating together. It has been almost 2 years since Roche Polska and GFR started our partnership, and I have been continuously impressed by this dedication to fulfilling the mission of helping girls in Poland to be prepared for future challenges. I am fully committed to youth empowerment and women's solidarity, which GFR enables through practical projects, mentoring, and inspiration. Our collaboration is based on mutual respect and shared values. We engage in a wide variety of activities, including workshops that provide concrete skills to learn and mentorship programs that involve working on tangible projects together. We also learn from the members of the foundation, and believe me, there is a lot to learn as they bring fresh insights and new ways of thinking. It's not just about individual reverse mentoring; whenever possible, we also seek advisory input on our organizational matters. Enabling and empowering our collaboration has been personally fulfilling for me. Building the strengths of future generations and future leaders is a privilege that I am proud of and deeply cherish. I share GFR's passion, and through this collaboration, I am gaining new perspectives and potentially exploring new directions that the world will soon be heading towards, led by these remarkable individuals. I have great respect for the experience that GFR members gain fast through their contributions. My reflection is that we are not just helping the younger generation grow for the future, but we are also actively shaping our future together, with increasing initiative and ideas from the emerging leaders. Many thanks to all that make it happen: - at Roche: Paulina Święcicka, Irma Veberič, Marta Buchlovska, Anna Surdacka, Daria Zygmunt, Sylwia Kotowska, Agata Struzik-Piasta, Małgorzata Szpejewska-Cedro, Joanna Kania, Aneta Uss - at GFR: Zofia Kierner, Kalina Kalwasińska, Weronika Wojnarowska, Kaja Posnik, Oliwia Sagan, Julia Saługa, Karolina Stenzel, Daria Stępień, Natasza Klimko - and many others! And no, it's not just about GenZ; it's about all of US. Each generation brings unique experiences, perspectives, and skills to the table. Collaborating across generations allows for a broader range of ideas and approaches, leading to more innovative and effective solutions. It also contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of complex problems. Embracing multigenerational collaboration promotes an inclusive work environment where individuals from all generations feel valued and appreciated.

    Every current CEO, President and Professor was once 20 years old. Every future CEO, President and Professor is NOW in their 20s. It is these talented future leaders the the Girls Future Ready Foundation has been supporting for the past 6 years. Last Friday we brought together over 200 of our community members including our beneficiaries (young women 20-24yo), mentors, partners for the Annual Gala of the Girls Future Ready Foundation co-hosted with Olga Leonowicz and US Ambassador Mark Brzezinski at their residence. We celebrated the last 12 months of impactful work supporting young female talents in CEE by the GFR Programs. We have had quite a year at GFR. From winning 1st place from the European Parliament for the most innovative programs for young people in all of Europe to launching our own TV Series on Polish National Television and being invited by universities like Harvard University and University of California, Berkeley to share how we built the success of GFR in CEE... we have a lot to be proud of and even more to be grateful for! With this gala, I wanted to thank everyone who has played a fundamental role in the success of GFR in the last year. We could not be more grateful to our mentors and partners for their passion and expertise that make GFR the organization that it is today. I am in constant awe of the Girls Future Ready Foundation team for everything we are able to do together in such a short amount of time. Seeing a few of the #HerStory mentorship pairs in this edition presenting on stage I am confident one thing is true: Educate a girl and she WILL change the world!

    W tym tygodniu nasza agencja wypełniła się gronem młodych kobiet, które marzą o tym, by zmieniać świat i tworzyć własne biznesy. Wszystko za sprawą niezwykłej współpracy stor9_ x Girls Future Ready. 😊 Kilka miesięcy temu wspominaliśmy o możliwości aplikacji do projektu mentoringowego z Anna Zielińska, CEO Stor9, w ramach programu HerStory, którego celem jest wsparcie dziewczyn w wieku 14-24 w rozwoju kariery i nie tylko. 💖 Laureatką tegorocznego HerStory została Julia Saługa, która pod okiem naszej CEO miała okazję stworzyć swój własny biznesplan, poznać tajniki pracy na planie zdjęciowym, poszerzyć wiedzę z zakresu influencer marketingu…, a także współtworzyć wydarzenie dla finalistek programu, którego celem była odpowiedź na pytanie, czy rozpoznawalność jest kluczem do funkcjonowania prosperującej firmy. Jesteśmy dumni, że możemy być częścią tej niesamowitej inicjatywy i wspierać młode kobiety na ich drodze do sukcesu. Razem tworzymy przyszłość pełną możliwości! 🌍✨ Dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy przyczynili się do organizacji tego wydarzenia! Dziękujemy także Zofia Kierner i fundacji Girls Future Ready za możliwość udziału w projekcie! #mentoring #stor9 #girlsfutureready #herstory Anna Zielińska Agnieszka Zielińska Maciej Dutkowski Lukasz Misiukanis Marek Myslicki

    During the last #HerStory Masterclass of this edition we met with Anita Werner, one of the most influential #Polish news journalists, we discussed topics related to working in the media, public speaking, and building professional success. Every session brings forth numerous questions and expressions of gratitude, but the atmosphere fostered by Anita was truly unique. Participants expressed curiosity about various aspects of the media, such as the power of authenticity, the importance of incorporating real-life examples, the pros and cons of being in the spotlight, and how to establish oneself in the industry. Anita, thank you for your time and dedication. It was truly a wonderful meeting! Each #Herstory Masterclass is exceptional, as only a limited number of participants are selected to partake in the experience. Don't miss out on opportunities like this one. Subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on social media, and sign up for the latest #Herstory program. Who knows, perhaps you will soon become one of the #Herstory laureates? #HerStory Masterclass returns in September! See you then for more amazing guests! . #girlsfutureready #motivation #growth #future #futureleaders
