Our girls learn to use their voices and say what's in their hearts.

The Company performed our "Project 21-20, Not before 24" show and facilitated workshops during the 2009 Spring Break tour.

What would a parent say about Global Girls?

"I'm so glad my daughter joined Global Girls. She used to be shy and

would always cling to me because she is the baby in the family.

But now that she's been in Global Girls, she has joined organizations

in school and is much more lively with her friends. I've even taken

more risks since I started learning about the Global Girls way."

-Vanessa McGee, mother of Global Girl Te'Reah Fields.

We visited Accra, Ghana inWest Africa,
