What is Fire & Flower?
Fire & Flower Girls is a registered charity that creates inclusive, transformative programs for girls and gender-diverse youth as they navigate the important transition of adolescence.
Our work centers around one core belief: young people deserve support, care, and meaningful education as they grow into themselves. We provide programs that blend creative learning, nature-based activities, mentorship, and emotional wellness tools, giving participants the skills, confidence, and community they need to thrive in their futures.
Through group connection and hands-on learning, youth build resilience, self-advocacy, and a stronger sense of belonging. Our programs and workshops are designed to be LGBTQ2SIA+ inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and culturally safe, especially for those facing marginalization or systemic barriers.
Across cultures and generations, the transition from childhood to adolescence has been recognized as a key moment for learning and guidance. But today, many youth go through this period without the support they need. Social and digital media often reinforce harmful messages about identity, appearance, and worth. At the same time, opportunities for connection, rest, and self-reflection are harder to access, especially for youth impacted by poverty, trauma, or exclusion.
We exist to bring back the village by providing safe, joyful spaces where youth feel seen and celebrated, and where they can learn about their changing minds, bodies, and communities. From health and environmental awareness, to leadership and peer relationships, our programs nurture the spectrum of curiosities and challenges which exist in the coming of age journey.
“When girls are given our time and presence to discover who they are, they unfold into the safety of themselves. This wisdom needs to be brought back into our communities – it is time.”

Donate to the Movement!
We are happy to issue tax receipts for all donations.
Help ALL girls and gender-diverse youth know their own radiance as they become young women/adults. We are raising funds to support families and help run our organization. Many parents tell us, “This is just what my child needs right now,” but they do not have the financial means to participate. We receive many inquiries from BIPOC families (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) as well single-parent households. Your donation really makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity.
