OUR SERVICES
- GIRL WORKSHOPS:
- #REALMEDIAGIRL Curriculum: Participants in this workshop learn how social media reinforces the inequitable “perfect girl” who reinforces racial stereotypes, how social media influences girls’ well-being; how to be critical consumers and users on apps like Instagram and Snapchat; and how girls can use their power and numbers to make social media more empowering and positive.
- EDUCATOR CERTIFICATIONS: MEDIAGIRLS is now certifying dozens of educators to teach the #REALMEDIAGIRL workshop in their schools. Interested educators can sign up to get certified.
- PARENT WORKSHOPS: We help parents understand the complicated world of girls and social media, and provide a concrete road map with strategies for making their favorite apps healthier and more positive for girls.
- FREE ONLINE RESOURCES: We provide conversation starters and a blog to help parents and educators engage girls in discussions about how media shapes our attitudes, and how we can collectively transform the culture of media for girls and women.
