Girlhood by BGF

In the summer of 2022, with support from Jordan Brand, we launched Girlhood by BGF, a new project offering events, programmes, and creative opportunities for young Black girls aged 13-18. Kick starting with a two-week summer programme in London for girls aged 15-17, aiming to empower them as future leaders, creators, and change-makers.

Following the success of our first summer programme, in 2023, we expanded our reach to over 200 Black girls aged 13-18, providing curated experiences in sports, wellness, and creativity. Our mission was to inspire them to discover their potential, build self-confidence, learn new skills, and form lasting connections.

100% of our Girlhood alumni said they learned new skills on our programmes and events and would recommend them to other young Black girls.
