How It Works Together

Be Bold For Change

Serves as the guiding organization, setting the mission and direction for all activities.

1.

Be Bold Girls

Program

Activating A New Generation

Be Bold Girls is a three-part leadership and empowerment program created for and by middle
and high school girls, designed to amplify their powerful voices. This program inspires and
equips young women to envision and create the change they want to see. Be Bold Girls focuses
on building confidence and teaching critical life skills. Through engaging workshops, projects
and challenges supported by mentors we prepare young girls to become confident, capable,
and bold changemakers for today and tomorrow.

2.

Be Bold Now Summit

Annual Event

Be Bold Now, our flagship annual event, was founded in Seattle in 2015 and has since
expanded to London and Paris. At Be Bold Now, women and girls take the stage to share
stories of courage, motivation, and support.  While celebrating progress, Be Bold Now shines a
light on the work that still needs to be done to create equity for women and girls around the
globe. The event acts as an inspirational launchpad, encouraging its multigenerational
community to make a meaningful impact in closing the gender gap.

3.

Intergenerational Gatherings

Initiative/Program

Intergenerational Gatherings bring together girls and women from different generations to engage in meaningful conversations and shared experiences. These events aim to bridge generational gaps by creating understanding, empathy, and mutual learning. Participants discuss various topics, share life experiences, and explore commonalities and differences. The goal is to build stronger community bonds and enhance intergenerational relationships to work toward gender parity.

Bold Education

Be Bold for Change offers education to help women achieve economic parity. Partnering with WMarketplace they offer support and instructor-led training for women owned businesses to launch, grow and scale online.  

Bold Stories

When women and their allies share their stories, it is empowering. Shared stories are a catalyst to build community and realizing that others share your feelings and experiences. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Hear stories of ordinary women doing extraordinary things, or submit your own!
