Girls Future Ready Foundation

My name is Zofia Kierner, and I have been a social activist since I was 8 years old.

I am a global citizen (born in Poland, lived in a couple of places around the world, currently in the US).

Like most of you, I am full of dreams, passions and goals. And although many doors have been closed to me with the excuse that I am too young, and not experienced enough, I believe that we, young women can make a difference! It is our voice, that can make a true impact!

That’s why, at the age of 16, I decided to create Girls Future Ready Foundation. Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much. I hope you will join me, my team, our community so we can grow together!

Every month we announce a new female guest that will join us for 1,5 at an online workshop sharing their career journey, experiences, and knowledge with a selected group of attendees! It is an incredibly valuable experience as you get to interact with the speaker in a small casual setting and learn from some of the most incredible women in their fields!

HerStory Project

A Mentorship program like no other!

HerStory Project is the Girls Future Ready hands-on mentorship program where we pair 1 girl up to 24 years old with 1 experienced female mentor who is an expert in her field and together they execute one project. HerStory isnt like other mentorship programs where girls meet over coffee to chat but it is an opportunity to create a tangible final product that girls can then put on their resume and learn concrete skills in their selected field. Every month we announce a new mentor in fields ranging from media to STEM to fashion design and politics! Check out our socials and apply for HerStory!

Along with the project you will also join the community of HerStory girls that we have build to promote female solidarity and mentorship!

GIRLS ENGLISH READY

Changing English education around Central Eastern Europe

One of our longest-running projects, Girls English Ready has been active for over 8 years while we collect, deliver, and donate gently used children's books in English from the US to educational institutions in CEE. Over this time, we have collected and donated over 50,000 books to dozens of underprivileged elementary schools, preschools, children's hospitals, and orphanages.

Want to help out? Organize a book collection at your school in the US? Or are you in CEE and would like to organize a donation event at a local elementary school? Contact Us!
