About Girls on the Move

Headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, all artists and instructors involved in Girls on the Move are dedicated to carrying out a 3-part program that has and will continue to transform the lives of adolescent girls. The current iteration of the prorgram serves predominately African American adolescent girls ages 13 - 17 from inner city Philadelphia communties.

Over the course of one year, the girls are supported in a multi-cultural, female and personal identity empowerment process through the creative and performing arts. They engage in three progressive artistic rites of passage in order to develop the motivation and skills to become agents of change in their own lives and in their communities.

Lasting 12 months and held after school and on weekends, professional artists act as instructors and mentors to the program's participants.
