What We Do
For Girls
In collaboration with schools and community organizations, Girls Action Foundation provides programs to girls in Montreal. Our programs create safe, inclusive spaces where girls engage in popular education workshops, discussions, games, and creative activities. Evaluations have shown that Girls Action programs help girls build their self-esteem, critical-thinking and communication skills, and civic engagement.

Young women can be at the forefront making a better world. Girls Action is building a community of women to share their wisdom and expertise and support young women’s potential as leaders. These innovative programs build community and reach across diverse generations and sectors.
