The Girls Action Book Club is a proactive effort to develop and promote advocacy and creative spaces for girls, young women and gender diverse youth from 12-18 years old. Utilizing the responses from our fall youth consultation program, a diverse group of youth ; from different backgrounds, expressed their interest in having a space that is youth centered to discuss social justice that matters for them or that concern.
Book club youth will have access to:
-
A book
-
A meal at each meeting
-
Trainings and skills to create a mix media project

New safe spaces for youth to speak out and take action on social justice issues that affect them
