Girls as Activists, Leaders & Advocates
In GALA (Girls as Activists, Leaders and Advocate) girls build supportive peer groups and learn to navigate the complexities of urban life. They broaden their worldview and strengthen their advocacy and leadership skills. They simultaneously develop tolerance, empathy, a capacity for ethical decision-making, and a commitment to contributing towards a greater good. GALA programs include civic engagement, community organizing around anti-violence and voter registration; advocating for environmental justice and stewardship; and fusing passion with advocacy.
Our GALA programming includes:
- Center for Media and Social Justice
- Global Partnerships and Travel
- Justice Rising Leadership
- Seminars and Conferences
