Dear Future Mentors and Mentees,
From the heart of G4G, I extend a warm and resounding invitation to join our global movement – a movement built on the shoulders of those who came before us, and dedicated to paving the way for you.
We stand at a pivotal moment, where the challenges facing women and girls are met with boundless possibilities for change, growth, and empowerment. At G4G, we look forward to a future where every girl, regardless of her background, has not only the opportunity but the unwavering support to rise, to lead with courage, and to shape her world with vision and determination.
Like the leaders who have inspired me, and countless others, I believe that what matters most to us is not just connection, but meaningful connection – the kind that transcends borders and generations.
It’s the transformative power of shared wisdom, passed down from mentor to mentee, creating a ripple effect of change that touches every corner of the globe. It’s the boundless potential that unfolds when women support women, not as a matter of charity, but as a fundamental act of solidarity and strength.
We believe in a world where:
Our hope for women and girls is that they embrace their authentic selves, not as a privilege, but as their birthright. That they shatter not only glass ceilings, but the very systems that created them, becoming the architects of a more equitable and just world – a world where their voices are not only heard, but heeded, their stories not only valued, but celebrated, and every leader is empowered to lift others as she climbs, leaving behind a world better than she found it.
To our potential mentors: Your experience is not just a resource; it’s a beacon of hope for the next generation. Your guidance is not just advice; it’s a lifeline that can change the trajectory of a young woman’s life. Your belief in these future leaders is not just valuable; it’s the key that unlocks their potential and ignites within them the very spark of leadership that will shape tomorrow. You are the leaders of our time.
To our potential mentees: Your ambition is not just a personal aspiration; it’s a force of nature that has the power to reshape the world. Your passion is not just a feeling; it’s the fuel that will drive our movement forward. And your willingness to learn is not just a sign of humility; it’s the foundation upon which you will build a future where anything is possible. You are the leaders we have been waiting for.
With hope, gratitude, and a fierce belief in your potential,
Izzana Salleh,
Global President, Girls For Girls (G4G)
