Take Our Daughters to Congress 2007

This April, Girls Inc. of NYC participants (Cheri and Chantell) along with their staff chaperones (Christina & Sasha) traveled to Washington, D.C. for "Take Our Daughters To Congress Day"

As participants of the national event, the Girls Inc members shadowed female members of the US House of Representitives. Chantell and Cheri spent the day with Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (NY).

From learning to use chop-sticks to musing about the challenges of being a female politician...here is their story.

Girls Make the Message: Dating Violence

This video was produced entirely by participants of Girls Inc of NYC's media literacy program, Girls Make the Message in the Spring of 2005.


Girls Make the Message: We Are Beautiful


This is the first video produced by the girls of Girls Inc. of NYC. In 2004, a group of teen participants of Media Literacy at the East Harlem site learned all phases of digital video production.

The young women made this PSA to counteract the negative messages media sends out about who is beautiful.
