PURPOSE 

Who are we?

Our mission is to change the world – one girl at a time.

Girls are growing up in a changing and challenging world.  As well as managing stress, bullying, siblings, divorce and exams, they’re navigating the world of social media, online harassment and online pornography.  Their adult support networks are weakened as parents work long hours, extended families live far and wide, and teachers are stretched.

Rites for Girls mentors girls right through their adolescence and we train women to facilitate girls’ groups where preteen girls prepare for puberty and learn how to take charge of their emotional, social, and mental well-being.  This guidance continues through their teenage years. We also support their mothers as the girls journey through this pivotal phase. 

We aim to make growing up for girls an easier, safer, and better supported journey.

We have been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for a three year project to broaden our reach into diverse communities, address economic barriers to access, and scale up the organisation to ensure sustainability.

As Marketing Manager you will play a key role in  this exciting project to increase reach and connect with communities, working closely with the Project Manager and the Operations Manager.
