Girl Be Heard builds leaders, changemakers & activists.
We do this through developing, amplifying and celebrating the voices of girls and young women through socially conscious theater-making, storytelling and performance.
Our Philosophy
If a girl can change her own life, she can change the lives of girls everywhere. We envision a world in which every girl is valued and encouraged to be a leader and change maker.
What Girl Be Heard Offers
Girl Be Heard is uniquely positioned to engage youth and open up dialogue about social justice issues affecting their communities—from gun violence to sex trafficking. We run both afterschool and weekend education programs in underserved areas of New York City, where all of our girls’ theatrical work is generated. Building self-esteem, growing individual talents (step dancing, singing, rapping, and acting), and empowering girls to become leaders in and advocates for their communities is Girl Be Heard’s unique model and why Girl Be Heard has been so successful.
