The Girls & Boys Projects is dedicated to bringing gender-based empowerment programs to young people in public schools and community-based organizations throughout NYC and beyond.Our programs engage girls & boys, in separate settings, around gender and other social issues through democratic, learner-centered workshops. We seek to create a safe space for young people to: 1. Find their voices 2. Build self -awareness 3. Strengthen critical thinking and communications skills 4. Develop a better understanding of the world around them; and 5. Become active in their communities.
