Geeked 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're all about courageous, talented girls learning how they can change our world.

In weekly sessions, we. engage teams of girls in activities that build strong communication, leadership and life skills. Many activities are conceived, developed, implemented and evaluated by the girls themselves with adults providing assistance as needed. We use the performing arts as the vehicle to demonstrate and reinforce skills.
