About Girls who Grow
Girls who Grow Aotearoa New Zealand
Girls who Grow is on a mission to engage our next generation of educated female change makers, leaders and environmental guardians to connect back to the land and build meaningful career pathways into climate positive agriculture, farming, food systems and nature, to ensure thriving ecosystems across Aotearoa. The organisation connects 13 to 17-year-old girls through workshops, imagination challenges, on-farm experiences and mentorships, to build regional environmental solutions that can create deep impact and our next generation can be part of the solution to the world we want to live in. This provides pathways for young women to enter New Zealand's food and fibre sector, which accounts for 81% of the country's exports but involves only 6% of school leavers.
