Reel Grrls Know Media, Production, and Storytelling

Reel Grrls equips adolescent girls with the power of storytelling and communication through film.  Participants come from diverse backgrounds and discover their own voices under the guidance of professional filmmakers.
  Founded in 2001, this Seattle-based non-profit sponsors after-school, weekend, and summer day camp programs in media & technology training that empower young women to "critique media images and to gain media technology skills in a safe, open environment, mentored by a network of multi-cultural women media professionals."  With equality and advancement serving as a compass, Reel Grrls teach youth to be media literate and realize their capacity to change the world.
