The 2025 GirlsBuild Summit marks 10 years of our mission to empower young women to become leaders and inspire change. Since starting in 2014 as an initiative of the LA Promise Fund, GirlsBuild has quickly established itself as one of the most impactful female youth initiatives of our time.

This year, we are taking a look back at a decade of empowerment. Over the last 10 years, GirlsBuild has powered girl-led initiatives in STEM, civic engagement, voter registration, and community engagement.

The theme of the '25 Summit is UNLEASH THE POWER OF HER. As we commemorate our past and look to the future, GirlsBuild is celebrating the power of girl-led leadership and collaboration.

The GirlsBuild Summit is an interactive experience designed to ENGAGE, INSPIRE, and EMPOWER over 5,000 girls of color from middle schools and high schools nationwide. We bring girls together with today's most powerful leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, and change-makers to tackle the critical issues that shape the lives of our girls and our communities.
