Who are Girl Up Educators?

Girl Up educators are teachers, mentors and/or parents who work directly with American girls to encourage and support them to become the drivers of the Girl Up campaign.

Girl Up educators can also be inspirational American girls who are educating their peers and friends. Alongside Girl Up educators, American girls have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills while becoming the next generation of global leaders. 

What are Educators’ Learning Materials?

Educators’ learning materials are downloadable pdf files that take the Girl Up campaign to a deeper level by providing everything from relevant statistics to suggested activities to recommended links.  Learning materials can be used in both formal and informal learning environments.
