The energy was electric, the stories were powerful, and the impact was unforgettable. First Citizens Girls First 2025 has officially wrapped, and with it, hundreds of girls from across Trinidad and Tobago are now boldly ready to make their mark on the world.

Held under the transformative theme “Make Your Mark,” this year’s Girls First experience delivered a powerful blend of inspiration, real-world learning, and unapologetic empowerment — positioning young women to lead change in their schools, communities, and futures.

“This year, we watched girls shift from asking ‘Can I?’ to declaring ‘I will,’ said Karen Darbasie, Girls First Founder and Group CEO, First Citizens. “Girls First 2025 lit a fire in these young women — and now they’re heading home ready to lead, build and boldly show up in the world.”

From keynote addresses to interactive workshops and open dialogue, First Citizens Girls First 2025 was a full-circle experience that celebrated every facet of the modern Caribbean girl — smart, creative, fearless and driven.
