TWYA exists to help girls and young women understand who they are, recognise what they can become and grow with courage, support and practical opportunities.

TWYA was created from a conviction that young people — especially girls — deserve more than encouragement from a distance. They need people, spaces and experiences that help them understand purpose, build confidence, practise life skills and see wider possibilities for themselves.
Our work is girl-focused while recognising that healthy communities include families, boys, men, women, schools, volunteers and partners. We therefore create programmes that centre girls' development while building a wider culture of support around them.
TWYA's volunteers and supporters are central to this work. Through mentoring, activities, wellbeing conversations, leadership opportunities and programmes such as Radiant Roots, we aim to help young people develop skills they can use now — not only someday in the future.
If you are a young person, parent, volunteer, mentor, supporter or organisation that shares this vision, there is room for you in the TWYA community.
Connect with TWYAYoung people should have space to discover who they are rather than being pushed to fit someone else's idea of success.
We believe listening well and responding early can change the direction of a young person's experience.
Confidence is strengthened by doing — speaking, trying, leading, learning, reflecting and taking the next step.
