In their words

  • 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 , Laureate of HerStory with Irma Veberic
  • 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.
    Dominika Nowaczewska , #HerStory Laureate with Aleksandra Gajewska
