Power of Women champions girls, young women and allies across the Tees Valley, building confidence, creating opportunities and broadening horizons.
Through events, role models and community action, we connect people, challenge expectations and open doors, helping young people see what’s possible and giving them the confidence to shape their future.
We work with schools and businesses across the Tees Valley, creating inspiring experiences that connect young people with positive role models, different careers and opportunities beyond the classroom. We challenge gender stereotypes, broaden perspectives and help young people feel confident about the choices and possibilities ahead of them.
Through our vibrant, structured programmes - spanning primary schools to secondary and further education - we deliver engaging sessions and activities to inspire girls to aim higher and build confidence by introducing them to inspirational role models. Through our network of local and national women, we showcase possibilities, share valuable career insights, and provide the guidance and encouragement needed to help young women realise their limitless potential.
By nurturing inclusivity and encouraging collaboration between boys and girls, we create a more equitable and supportive learning environment - challenging unhelpful gender stereotypes that limit young people’s ambitions.
We’ve intentionally designed our programmes using expert input to equip young people with essential life skills, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership, so they are better able to overcome challenges and achieve their goals
We intentionally include boys in our programme to promote male allyship and advance equality, because equality benefits everyone.
Power of Women is a community interest company dedicated to building confidence, creating opportunities and unlocking potential for young people across the Tees Valley.
Spearheaded by the Late Professor Jane Turner OBE DL, this campaign embodies Jane’s determination and commitment to improving life chances of girls in the Tees Valley region. We want to give girls and young women of the region the inspiration, tools and support that they need to take control over the direction of their own lives, and to not just survive, but thrive.
