Become a Hardy Girl

HG has empowered girls and nonbinary youth with knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a platform to drive social change since 2000. We work with 1,200+ members annually - and you can be one of them! Join our 9th-12th grade Feminist Action Board (FAB), or inspire the next generation as an HG Muse.

Our Feminist Action Board (FAB) is changing Maine for the better! Join a team of 9th-12th grade self-identified girls and nonbinary youth as they create a more positive world. The FAB Program provides opportunities for leadership, engagement in social action projects, create change, and embrace uniqueness.

Muses inspire Hardy Girls all across the state, and you can too! The college students who volunteer as Muses come from a wide range of academic disciplines and all share a commitment to gender equity. Guide a group and inspire the next generation of brilliant girl and nonbinary youth leaders.
