Official GALS Promo

Now in its fourth year, WCI’s GALS program (Girls’ Advocacy and Leadership Series) brings WCI’s successful international curricula home to high school girls in Philadelphia. In partnership with New Century Trust, WCI provides process oriented programming in community leadership, advocacy, activism, global awareness, financial literacy, public speaking and networking. Using what they learn from these skills building workshops, participants work in teams to choose a pressing issue to address in their local community, and develop and implement an advocacy campaign to move this issue forward. Through the years, GALS’ advocacy campaigns have addressed issues from dating abuse, teen pregnancy, discrimination, bullying, drug abuse, self-esteem, and community violence. GALS offers a unique opportunity for Philadelphia schools to come together and design and implement advocacy campaigns that make a positive impact. **Song credit: “Grip Like A Vice”- The Go!
