Our team

Our team

Young women are at the heart of everything we do. We work collectively to equip them with resources, networks and platforms for leading radical change. 

Our staff provide safe, engaging learning and development opportunities to equip young women with the knowledge and skills to champion positive change in their communities and beyond. We engage with key decision makers across society and promote the voices, needs and expertise of young women for creating feminist solutions to key social issues. 

Our Board of Trustees support our leadership team in strategic development and operational decision making. They are committed to ensuring the longevity of the organisation to support new generations of feminist leaders and grow this national movement tackling gender inequality. 

Our Advisory Collective and Glasgow Advisory Panel of alumni support us in developing our strategy and designing our programmes and resources.
