A word from our founder

Hi, my name is Zofia Kierner

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'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.'
