Girls on Fire delivers evidence-based, culturally immersive fire and emergency programs to teenagers. Our programs are designed to inspire young people to take an active role in building community safety and connection. All while uncovering their own personal confidence and resilience – and the potential of an exciting new career path.
Girls on Fire work with schools, fire and emergency services, regional towns, and all kinds of youth-related organisations to introduce young people aged 14 to 19 to fire, flood, and other emergency and disaster management skills.
Our programs combine practical frontline emergency experience with evidence-based Australasia-specific and international research. We offer one-day and residential programs, cultural inclusion programs, virtual programs, advocacy and community engagement services, and more.
