Our mission is to inspire and empower young women, particularly those from underrepresented communities, to pursue careers in emergency services. Focused on girls aged 14 to 19, we aim to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to lead in disaster preparedness, prevention, and management.
We target regional and remote towns where leadership development opportunities are often limited. By creating a network of volunteers and empowering young people, Girls on Fire build resilience and self-sufficiency in communities that face unique challenges.
Girls on Fire champions marginalised youth like LGBTQIA+, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and neurodiverse young people making a meaningful impact in their communities through access, representation, and connection to culture.
Girls on Fire programs emphasise hands-on training, mentorship, and education and equips participants with skills that are essential in times of crisis. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and education, we invite participation in keeping communities safe.
Girls on Fire’s mission is rooted in a commitment to alleviating social disadvantage. We provide educational opportunities to build confidence and resilience in underrepresented youth. We foster a diverse and capable workforce by opening career doors.
We collaborate with local emergency services, educational institutions, and community organizations to create lasting change. Together, we can ensure that every girl has the opportunity to become a future leader in emergency services.
