About us

GlobalGirl Media (GGM) is an NGO that trains female identifying and gender expansive young people, ages 15-25 from resource-poor communities to become agents of change through producing and distributing their own digital media stories. All of our programming is free.

We empower our students to tell their own stories and enter media careers by giving them the skills, experience, and professional connections to succeed and improve female representation in media.

You can’t be what you can’t see. Our media tells us a lot about who we are and the stories we believe about ourselves. Yet, a female POV is under-published, under-broadcast and under-streamed compared to a male POV. Now more than ever, women and girls of color need a place at the table to change the narrative.

That’s where we come in.

AGENCY

GlobalGirls gain 21st century technical skills to produce ethical and impactful journalistic media. They learn video production, cinematography, audio recording, editing, writing, and journalism skills to produce compelling content.

ACCESS

We connect GlobalGirls to mentors, internships, and job opportunities that build their self-esteem and confidence to tell their own stories and pursue careers in journalism and filmmaking. These experiences help them thrive and become leaders in school, work and community. They learn public speaking skills, take risks, dream bigger, and work as a team.

AUTHORITY

The digital content the girls create is shared broadly on multiple platforms, sparking discussion and leading to social change. Girls become more aware of things happening around the world, learn how to identify problems, feel empowered to solve them, and educate and inspire others.
