Girls for a Change

Girls For A Change is a national organization that empowers girls to create social change. We invite young women to design, lead, fund and implement social change projects that tackle issues girls face in their own neighborhoods. GFC provides the tools, resources, partnerships and support girls need to gain the voice, ability, and problem-solving capacity to realize their full potential. We welcome and serve all girls and focus our efforts on girls who live in low income communities.

Girls For a Change Action Network

On the GFC Action Network, existing and new Girl Action Teams can work together to complete their projects and 1,000s more can download the Change Your World Action Kit to create change in their own way and join this revolutionary movement.

The Story of Stuff

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Eat a Cheeseburger! Blog

Eat A Cheeseburger is about the social pressures we feel as women to be the thinnest we can be. Despite your current jean size, I’m sure you’ve had those thoughts of self-criticism. We sure have. And we’re sick of it. This blog makes fun of our society’s obsession with thin and speaks out against the social voice which tells us, “Don’t eat that, you’ll get fat!” and “The thinner you are the better.” We want women everywhere to eat freely, walk freely, look in the mirror freely, step on the scale freely, go jean shopping freely, socialize freely, live freely and embrace who they are freely!

Each year, 70 girls go through our program and graduate with valuable skills in video, audio, and web production. We believe that it is important to give young women the skills to critically evaluate the media they are exposed to and then to empower them to produce their own media. As media plays such an influential role in our global society, we believe that if women and girls are to achieve equality and advancement in today's world they must be taught to be media literate.
