What is Generation Tribe?
Generation Tribe provides an online space for teenage girls and young women, inspiring them to follow their dreams, whatever they may be.
The aim is to empower young girls to go out and make their dreams happen with career guides, success stories and advice from women who have achieved their career ambitions.
We think many young women struggle with self-esteem, confidence and anxiety, particularly around their futures. That’s why we wanted to create a space where teenagers can read stories of women who have been in their shoes but have gone out and created a life they love.
We think it’s important to show girls lots of examples of people who have succeeded in their careers and create a community where successful women are accessible and seen by the younger generation.
As well as success stories, we’ll feature relationship advice, budgeting tips and guides on living sustainably, whether it’s ethical and natural beauty products or lowering your carbon footprint.
We know many of our readers are in their twenties and thirties too, so we will also include features on issues which will support them.
