GBH News!

I hope that this summer season has brought you time to retreat and reflect as we collectively forge a powerful path forward in our world during these turbulent times. As we move through the remainder of an uncertain year, I continue to be inspired and uplifted by the compelling voices of our community, supporters and participants, whose art and activism lead us continuously towards deeper truths and radical change.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support New York youth through creative learning and performance opportunities rooted in social justice, we have created the Girl Be Heard Resilience Fund. During this time of uncertainty, we are especially focused on providing extra support for our participants and helping those facing unanticipated economic hardship. 

This Giving Tuesday Now, join us in our efforts to keep our passionate participants connected.  By donating today, your dollars will go towards providing essential support to Girl Be Heard participants who are eager to keep engaging and sharing their stories. Never before in modern history has a challenge like the current crisis highlighted the importance of a deep and unified community.

I hope you're all staying safe and adjusting to the new circumstances we find ourselves in. I have been so encouraged by all the ways I’ve witnessed our communities pulling and working together to support each other during these uncertain times.

I wanted to give you an update on what's happening at Girl Be Heard. As many of you know, GBH works with schools across NYC providing essential arts education programs. We also run workshops at community centers in Manhattan and the Bronx, all with the goal of celebrating the voices of young women and gender expansive youth through theater and performance.
