TVbyGIRLS works with teen girls to develop leadership, cross cultural understanding, collaboration and social change using media tools.

Everyday, we are inundated with main stream media messages that show pictures of violence, sexual objectification and limitations. Our youth see these messages to as a frame of what we think of adult behavior. Both boys and girls lose in this equation. And as a society, we lose what smart, caring and compassionate youth voices bring to our world. 
TVbyGIRLS creates a safe and nurturing place where girls learn how the media works and then make their own media to show their real stories. Girls in our multi-level programs develop as leaders, communicators, creators and confident members of our cultural democracy. And they influence the way we all see the role of girls and women as dynamic leaders in making a better world for everyone.

    TVbyGirls is amazing! My daughter came home from a meeting one day with the most profound thought that I now use all the time. "You don't end with a compromise, Mom," she said. "The compromise is where you start. When you compromise, no one is happy but, when you start with the compromise and keep working until everyone owns the idea and is not just satisfied but excited by the results, that's when you have arrived at a real solution." Can you imagine if we all worked like this?

    TVbyGIRLS helps girls internalize the belief that they matter, by giving them opportunities to experience how their ideas, stories and actions can inspire and connect people in powerful ways.

    TVbyGirls does amazing work -- on a shoestring budget -- empowering girls and helping them become creative and expressive leaders.

    TVbyGirls is a tremendously important resource for empowering girls: raising awareness of the media images that inundate our society, supporting girls to question the messages they see, and giving them the power to reclaim/reframe their lives, bodies and experiences. Positive Media, Empowering Girls/Women!

    TVbyGirls is one of the best programs out there ANYWHERE for girls. More than simply leadership development, more than a media making opportunity... it makes the world a better place by nurturing compassion and vision in every girl it touches.

    Because these girls are going to make the world a better and safer place for all girls!
