About-Face

We work to improve teen girls’* mental health, self-efficacy, and leadership skills through local and national programs that teach media decoding and activism skills.

From unrealistic beauty ideals to narrow stereotypes, girls receive dangerous and limiting messages from social media, TV, movies, and real-life events every day. Learning how to deconstruct those messages and fight back to create change helps girls (girls and those who identify as girls or who are non-binary) see and achieve their full potential.

Our programs for teen girls range from our Education Into Action in-school programs to a weekend boot camp, and our online resources for teens here on the site. We also support their adult advocates - parents, teachers, mentors, relatives, and group leaders - through adult-centered workshops as well as curriculum development and support. Education >> Action >> Change.

*Includes and welcomes non-binary youth and trans girls.
