Project Girl Performance Collective (http://www.projectgirlperformancecollective.org) is a New York City based incorporated non profit theatre company that gives girls indispensable free training in writing, acting and directing allowing them to step confidently into the world and challenge the status quo.

We need YOU to take part in the movement to empower women and girls around the world

No-one is turned away because of lack of funds from our unique human rights curriculum, which works to engage girls in thinking critically about personal, social and global struggles. For such a curriculum to exist, our staff works countless hours however, without your support and proper funding our work cannot continue.

Each and every contribution goes towards creating a fearless space for girls to write and perform their work.

This incredible group of teens rocked the stage at the Paley Center in New York as part of a global event, with speakers in two cities and more than 100 organized viewing conferences around the world. Not to mentions the thousands of viewers who were live streaming video.

The performance was part of a segment of TEDxWomen hosted by writer, actress and activist, Jane Fonda. And let me tell you, these girls impressed every last person there!
