Frequently Asked Questions

If you have more questions about our work, please email us at hello@inspiring-girls.com and we'll do our best to answer them.

All volunteers are managed through local country teams. Visit our teams page to find out if we currently operate in your country, and follow the links to contact them directly. They'll discuss your background, availability, and interests, then match you with appropriate opportunities.
This varies by country team. Some offer one-off school talks, others have regular volunteering programmes. Training, support, and time commitments are tailored to local contexts and volunteer availability. Your local team will explain their specific approach when you get in touch.
While our programmes are delivered through local country teams, there are still ways to support our mission:
- Online participation: Join our annual #ThisLittleGirlIsMe campaign each October, follow our social media, and share role model stories in your networks.
- Digital resources: Use our YouTube channel's career videos in your community - whether in schools, youth groups, or informal settings.
- Support our work: Make a donation to help us expand programs in existing countries and support girls globally.
- Stay connected: Follow our social channels to hear about new country team developments and other participation opportunities.

We work with companies to create employee volunteer opportunities where your team shares career stories with girls aged 11-16. Partnerships can include school talks, workplace visits, skills workshops, or co-created campaigns. We handle logistics and provide impact reporting to show your social value.
Your employees can volunteer as role models at school talks, host workplace visits, lead industry-specific workshops, or contribute to global campaigns. Most activities require 2-4 hours of time and we provide briefing materials and support throughout.
We track girls reached, employee volunteers engaged, and confidence changes through pre/post surveys. 93% of girls report feeling more confident about their career possibilities after our programmes.
