TVbyGIRLS is a nonprofit organization that works with girls ages 10 to 18 to build leadership, compassionate and collaborative working skills, critical thinking and engagement in social justice and the issues of their communities. The overarching mission of TVbyGIRLS is to create stories and messages that show creative, compassionate, involved and thinking girls and women. We create work and venues for girls to see their potentials beyond the limitations they are exposed to in the mainstream media. We use the tools of media making and analysis to combat the defeating and limiting messages young people receive everyday.

TVbyGIRLS inspires girls to develop their leadership potential, imagination, intellect and ability to create compassionate change in the world.

OUR GOALS: * To nurture compassion, intelligence, leadership, creativity and critical thinking skills in girls. * Engage girls to create a more just world and engage in social action with the tools of media. * To introduce images, messages and stories into our communities that offer diverse perspectives and empower girls and women. * To give girls, and the people who love them, tools for battling the overwhelming saturation of defeating images and messages received everyday. * To create a production model that works authentically with girls in producing dynamic content for their peers. * To support projects created by and for girls and women that support the values of social justice and compassion.
