At Girls On Fire, we believe that making a change starts at home. Our vision is to create a future alive with girl power by inspiring our young girls with the fiercest belief in themselves today. This vision drives everything we do, from our workshops and camps to our school programs and community projects. By focusing on empowerment, confidence, and leadership, we aim to transform not just the lives of individual girls, but the future of entire communities. 

Inspiring Self-Belief Central to our vision is the idea that every girl has the potential to achieve greatness. This belief in oneself is the cornerstone of personal development and leadership. At Girls On Fire, we create environments where girls are encouraged to explore their interests, express their ideas, and take on new challenges. Whether it’s through public speaking exercises, creative projects, or leadership roles, and self defense we provide the tools and support they need to build self-confidence and resilience.

Workshops That Empower Our workshops are designed to empower girls by developing their skills and boosting their self-esteem. Each workshop focuses on a different aspect of personal growth, from communication and teamwork to creative expression and problem-solving. Through hands-on activities and interactive sessions, girls learn to trust their abilities and gain the confidence to pursue their dreams. 

Camps That Build Leaders Leadership is a key focus of our vision. At our camps, girls engage in activities that teach them the fundamentals of leadership, such as decision-making, strategic thinking, and teamwork. These camps provide a safe and supportive space where girls can practice leading projects and initiatives, fostering a sense of responsibility and accomplishment. 

School Programs That Support Continuous Growth Our school programs integrate the principles of empowerment and leadership into the everyday curriculum. By working closely with schools, we ensure that girls receive consistent support and encouragement throughout the academic year. These programs include regular workshops, mentorship sessions, and leadership opportunities. For example, our partnership with a Calgary school has seen remarkable results, with participants reporting improved self-esteem, better academic performance, and a stronger sense of community. 

Community Projects That Make a Difference We believe that empowering girls also means encouraging them to make a positive impact in their communities. Our community projects provide girls with the opportunity to engage in service activities that address local needs and issues. By participating in these projects, girls learn the value of civic engagement and social responsibility. One of our recent projects involved organizing a community clean-up day, where girls led efforts to beautify local parks and public spaces. This not only improved their neighborhoods but also instilled a sense of pride and ownership in the participants. 

Promoting a Culture of Inclusivity Inclusivity is a fundamental part of our vision. We strive to create an environment where every girl feels valued and respected, regardless of her background or abilities. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring that all girls have the opportunity to participate and benefit. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, we help girls develop empathy and understanding, preparing them to be compassionate leaders who can work effectively with diverse groups of people. 

The Ripple Effect of Empowerment The impact of our vision extends beyond the individual participants. When girls are empowered, they influence those around them—family, friends, and community members. This ripple effect creates a broader cultural shift towards valuing and supporting the contributions of women and girls. By investing in the empowerment of young girls today, we are laying the groundwork for a future where female leaders are the norm, not the exception. 

 At Girls On Fire, our vision is to create a future filled with empowered, confident, and capable young women. We believe that this change starts at home, with each girl learning to believe fiercely in herself and her potential. Through our comprehensive programs and initiatives, we are making this vision a reality, one girl at a time. As we continue to inspire and empower young girls across Alberta, we are building a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone.
