GIRL BE HEARD
Girl Be Heard, girlbeheard.org, is an NYC-based non-profit theatre collective and educational program that honors, develops and amplifies the voices of young women (ages 12-21). Founded in 2008, Girl Be Heard is one of the nation’s top performing arts organizations that engages audiences, locally and globally, to talk about and address gender inequity. Girl Be Heard has performed at the White House, TED Conferences, and the United Nations, and has been commissioned by the U.S. State Department to perform for ambassadors, elected officials, artists, activists, students, refugees, and countless other community members in seven countries.
The organization’s “Girl Power” workshops, after-school programming, global performances, and youth-led, social justice movement empowers young women to become brave, socially conscious leaders. Girl Be Heard youth come from all over the tri-state area. Through their individual and collective talents, nurtured by Girl Be Heard staff, they explore and tackle complex issues (everything from bullying to sex trafficking) affecting girls around the world.
