Our GROWNISH arm is on a passionate mission to unleash the full potential of the next generation of girls and gender-expanding youth.
GROWNISH programs are not just about development, it's about transformation! We want to empower young people to break barriers, shatter ceilings and to truly believe that their gender can be anything they want it to be.
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive personal and professional development programs that are crafted and delivered by GGUK and tailored specifically for girls and gender-expanding youth between the ages of 12 to 17.
We are not just here to support them, we are here to ignite their passion, to fuel their ambition and to empower them to become the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow.
Join us in our mission to make a real, lasting impact in the world.
GROWNISH, the development arm of GIRL GRIND UK CIC, is a cutting-edge initiative that empowers girls and gender-expanding youth between the ages of 12 to 17 to overcome self-limiting beliefs and achieve their full potential. Through a wide range of art-education programs including long term and short term social impact projects, GROWNISH aims to close the Dream Gap and help young people believe in themselves and their abilities.
Our workshops are designed to enhance leadership skills, creativity, ingenuity, and critical thinking among ethnically diverse young people. We provide the platform and tools for young people to make meaningful change within their communities and connect them with a representative network of leaders. We also aim to boost academic performance by creating an increased appreciation for learning through all our GROWNISH sessions.
At GGUK, we unapologetically encourage the personal and professional development of young people from Black and Asian Minority Ethnic communities, working both in education and non-educational settings. Our goal is to positively affect the behaviour of teen girls and gender-expanding youth, encourage active citizenship in the community, and find productive ways to contribute to the world around them.
GROWNISH aims to increase confidence and boost self-esteem among all young people regardless of their race, ability, educational background, or beliefs. Our program includes empowerment sessions on entrepreneurship, creativity, artistic expression, health and wellbeing, social action, technology, financial literacy, civic engagement and personal life coaching. We are committed to empowering young people through the arts and redefining the impossible into the achievable.
