the girls leadership network

We’re a non-profit, Australia-based initiative designed to empower young leaders to dream, believe and achieve.

In 2024 The Girls Leadership Network is taking a gap year and we will not be running a 2024 program. Please follow our social media pages to be notified when applications are open for 2025.

Participation in the girls leadership network’s core program opens doors to exciting networking opportunities, allowing young leaders to develop their leadership skills and immerse themselves in the experiences to kick-start their journey.

be inspired

Our core program consists of a series of 4–6 interactive leadership workshops per year, featuring inspiring speakers, industry movers and shakers, politicians, and much more.

immerse yourself in new opportunities

You’ll get access to fabulous opportunities such as working with an embassy, participating in a takeover of parliament, access to corporate sponsors and invitations to great events.

expand your network

Our network is important to us — it’s in our name. Joining TGLN means connecting to a wide range of young leaders across ACT and NSW, creating lasting and supportive relationships.

In 2019, the Republic of Finland awarded the girls leadership network with the prestigious ‘Hän Honour’ which highlights important equality related work being done around the world.

We can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for us and look forward to you joining our journey!
