OVERVIEW

Our Mission

Reel Grrls empowers young women from diverse communities to realize their power, talent and influence through media production. Our mission is to cultivate voice and leadership in girls at a vulnerable age in their development. What distinguishes our program is the high-level of support that our female mentors offer and the high level of commitment that we ask for in return.
Our participants don't just drop into a computer lab after school — they develop lasting relationships with women filmmakers and learn skills that propel them to leadership roles in their community, college scholarships, and careers in the media industry.
93% of our participants state that they feel more confident being a leader after participating in our program.

What We Do

We offer a variety of hands-on workshops for teenage girls in specific skills including animation, cinematography, script writing and more. For 2009-2010 details, please see our Programs page.
