About Girls Connect
Our Mission
At Girls Connect, our mission is simple but powerful:
To create a safe, inclusive, and uplifting space where girls and young women with disabilities can grow in confidence, build friendships, and thrive.
We are dedicated to supporting girls to:
- Discover their strengths
- Develop life and social skills
- Build meaningful relationships
- Be celebrated for exactly who they are
We exist because we believe every girl deserves to feel connected, confident, and capable — not just in programs, but in life. Whether it’s through a pamper night, a life skills workshop, or a day out with new friends, every moment at Girls Connect is designed to encourage connection, laughter, and growth.
Our Vision
We envision a world where girls and young women with disabilities are:
- Empowered to dream big
- Included in their communities
- Given every opportunity to live life to the fullest
Our vision is to build a strong, vibrant sisterhood where no girl ever feels left out or overlooked, where every participant feels supported to step outside her comfort zone, try new things, and believe in herself.
In the future, we see Girls Connect hubs in communities across Australia, each one buzzing with joy, friendship, and opportunity.
A place where families feel supported, staff are passionate, and girls flourish.
Because when girls feel safe, seen, and supported —
they don’t just grow, they shine.
