Selected by the Fall 2025 cohort of the Girls Initiatives Ambassadors, this year’s theme reflects a commitment to agency, independence, and growth during a pivotal stage of young adulthood.
Own Your Mind is a call to action—encouraging young people to prioritize mental wellness, advocate for their communities, and build the knowledge and skills needed to lead with confidence and purpose.
