DARE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
We are Bold. We are Dreamers. We are Innovators. We are a movement of female change agents and thought leaders that dare to change the world.
ABOUT
girltank is an ode to all the women and girls around the world – seen and unseen – that are taking risks, making hard, sometimes impossible decisions and courageously thinking big about how we can collectively make the world a better place for everyone to live and to thrive. We are a collaborative and global community of female social innovators. We accelerate the bold ideas and ambitions of our members by providing them with access to resources, strategic partnerships, funding and visibility. Our vision is a world where female thought leaders and founders of social innovation ventures are leading and provoking change in every region of the world.
