Programmes designed for real life

GIRLS & SCHOOLS

IDEAL FOR: Primary schools - Secondary schools - Girls' groups - Youth organisations

DELIVERY: One-off workshops - Multi-week programmes - Bespoke sessions

Helping girls navigate friendships, relationships and growing up without losing confidence in who they are.

Girl friendships can be an enormous source of belonging,  but the comparison, exclusion, changing friendship groups, and peer pressure can also affect how girls see themselves and what they believe they are capable of.

The Girl Standard creates a safe, practical space for girls to explore these experiences and develop healthier ways of responding to them.

Sessions use discussion, relatable scenarios and practical activities to explore  friendship dynamics, boundaries, comparison, exclusion, communication, self-worth, speaking up and aiming high.

Programmes can be delivered as one-off workshops or a series of sessions and adapted for different age groups and school needs.

FUTURE READY

IDEAL FOR: Secondary schools - Colleges - Youth organisations

DELIVERY: Workshops - Work-readiness sessions - Bespoke programmes

Giving young people the practical skills to step confidently into education, employment and adult life.

Young people are often expected to arrive in the workplace knowing how to communicate professionally, introduce themselves, speak confidently to adults and navigate unfamiliar situations - yet they may have had few opportunities to actually practice these skills.

Future Ready gives young people that opportunity.

Through real life scenarios, discussion and practical activities young people practice face-to-face communication, eye contact, introductions and handshakes, presenting yourself, speaking to adults and employers, handling unfamiliar situations, workplace expectations and professional behaviour.

Future Ready is designed for boys and girls and can support schools, colleges and organisations preparing young people for work experience, further education, employment and adult life.

WOMEN & COMMUNITIES

IDEAL FOR: Community organisations - Employers - Colleges - Women's groups

DELIVERY: One-off workshops - Group programmes - Bespoke sessions

Supporting women to rebuild confidence and move forward through change, transition and new opportunities.

Confidence can be affected at many stages of adult life - returning to work, changing career, raising a family, redundancy, entering education or simply reaching a point where you want something different.

The Girl Standard delivers practical, supportive workshops that help women recognise their strengths, challenge what may be holding them back and build the confidence to take their next step.

Sessions can explore confidence, strengths, communication, self-advocacy, presenting yourself, goal-setting, navigating change and moving forward.

Workshops can be tailored for community organisations, employers, education providers and other groups supporting women.
