Project Fearless

Project Fearless is a space for any girl* in Amsterdam aged 9-14 to get hands-on, break stereotypes, use their voice and create an impact. From Skateboarding to Entrepreneurship, our one-of-a-kind after-school courses encourage girls to explore out of their comfort zones, and to try, fail, brush themselves off, and try again! We exist to equip girls with the tools and confidence to succeed on their terms in any aspect of their lives, by plugging the gaps currently left by society. Creating breathing room for all girls to shed the labels that are often placed on them; where girls and those who identify with the girl experience can truly be themselves. Since Project Fearless was founded in 2019, we've welcomed more than 960 girls and gender-fluid youth across 81 courses. Our courses create a supportive, inclusive environment, with room for everyone's voice and ideas. Encouraging kids to find fun and freedom in exploring new and existing passions and interests, leaving the pressures of perfectionism behind. Where they can step inside, shed who they think they "should be", and figure out who they are instead. Where they can be coached by accessible role models (the see her, be her effect is real!) and learn to celebrate each other, without fear of their own success being limited. By empowering girls to define how they see themselves from scratch, we will, in turn, rewrite how the world views girls. We are Project Fearless. Welcome! www.projectfearless.org @project.fearless *Above all, we want to create a safe and inclusive community at Project Fearless. We welcome girls between the ages of 9-14 who identify with our mission and values to join our programs, including gender-fluid, polygender and gender non-conforming people, as well as those who are currently discovering their identity.
