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.

Invisible People: Raising Awareness

Meet Gerardo.  His own family turned him away as a teenager because he is gay.  It's hard to imagine a church rejecting someone in need, but apparently this is a common experience for LGBT youth who find themselves on the street.  

Invisible People (dot) TV wants you to see the faces and know the lives of homeless people.  From the site:

On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; “Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?” For a while God said nothing. That night he replied, quite suddenly:

“I certainly did something about it. I made you.”
