Abstract:Leadership experience is regarded as one of the essential components of learning leadership. Even though there is some progress in gender-related issues, Indonesian females, including girls, still frequently experience inequality in leadership. This study aims to find how Indonesian girls who participated in youth leadership program make sense of youth leadership and enrich the academic youth leadership literature. A qualitative study with a narrative approach was conducted in this study with semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions. The interview was completed by 30 Indonesian girls aged 18-24 who participated in #GirlsTakOver youth leadership development program. Youth's exposure to leadership experience comes from family, school, and community organizations. Trust from others is one of the main determinants that motivate them to pursue and participate in leadership activities. The experiences they have influence youth's perception of leadership. They also noted leadership as a continuous learning process. Each participant's leadership experience is unique but also has similarities: the critical aspect of youth leaders is the ability to influence and make change. Many resources can be considered beneficial to help youth make sense of youth leadership, such as a supportive social environment and leadership opportunities
