Our key pillars

A word from our founder

Hi, my name is Zofia Kierner

Every CEO, president, journalist, or scientist was once 20 years old. The future leader – the president, a top journalist, an outstanding scientist – is 20 years old today and needs space to gain real experience and skills. What better way than learning from current leaders through the execution of concrete, tangible projects?

This is what GFR is about—not just preparing young women for the future, but ensuring they have a say in shaping it.

I genuinely think that Girls Future Ready is one of the most amazing groups of people I have ever met. Those inspiring individuals can surprise me every time we see each other. That’s why I want to stay.

Aleksandra Tracichleb

Girls Future Ready makes a girl from Poland truly believe that she can run the world and it is the ONLY organisation in Poland that does so with such passion and efficacy.

Dominika Wilczok

Laureate of HerStory with Antonina Majchrzak

Since I’ve been with you, I’ve had so many opportunities for growth—it’s out of this world! Now, this scholarship in the USA is a dream come true. Ever since I joined GFR, I’ve been living my dream life, and it’s absolutely amazing! Thank you!

Daria Stępień

Girls Global Ready program participant

I am proud that, working together with Girls Future Ready, I can collaborate with such talented young women as Julia and support her in developing her business idea. Being part of this amazing initiative that supports young women on their journey to success fills me with immense pride and satisfaction.

Anna Zielinska

CEO of Stor9_ agency & #HerStory Mentor

Thanks to Girls Future Ready I opened my dream business after I won HerStory program and that changed a lot in my life. There are no organizations in Poland that support your female development in the way that GFR does.

Julia Polaczek

Laureate of HerStory project with Ande Lyons

GFR shows hidden dreams of people like me. If it weren't for Girls Future Ready, I would probably never start my own podcast or gain a belief in myself and my abilities.

Julia Kobielska

Laureate of HerStory project with Halo, Dziewczyny

The #togetherforteachers program has had an immense impact on my students. Some of my students for the first time in their lives had the opportunity to speak English with kids from the United States and what's more, it was the perfect way to improve their speaking skills.

Małgorzata Konopczyńska

English Teacher at XXI liceum, Glogow, Poland

'For me, Girls Global Ready program broadened my horizons, allowed me to overcome the fear of talking, and most importantly - allowed me to develop or even discover new skills, both interperonal and creative.'

Zuzanna from Poland

Mentee, GGR 2022

If someone had told me at the beginning of this year that I would collaborate with Aleksandra Gajewska, Deputy Minister, conduct my own research and organize an event in the Polish Parliament... I would have thought it was completely impossible! And yet – it happened! All of this was made possible thanks to the Girls Future ReadyFoundation and their #HerStory program.
