Everything you need to know about Girls Going Global.

 

No. We believe that girls get a different experience from learning with their peers.

Are parents allowed to participate in programs?

No. Girls must be ages 13-17 at the time of the application and cannot exceed the age requirement at time of program.

If a participant is not 13 at the time of application but will be by program time, can they still apply? What if they are 17 at time of application but will be 18 by program time?
