Girl Rising is a New York City–based nonprofit in the civic and social sector that uses storytelling to shift how society values girls and their education. It pursues gender equity and expanded educational opportunities for girls through narrative-based programs, operating as a mid-sized organization that emphasizes collaboration with partners to advance its mission. Its programs engage educators, students, and other stakeholders in work related to girls’ education and equity. A recent development is a partnership with 1 Million Teachers Inc. to create an interactive e-learning course on gender equity, social-emotional learning, and inclusive teaching practices. The organization has also launched the Future Rising Fellows program to support leadership development through fellowships.
