Amplifying the voices of girls and gender-expansive youth of color

In 2020, we launched our Love is Healing Fund, which awarded grants to several organizations engaging in participatory research about the impacts of the pandemic on the lives and communities of girls and gender-expansive youth of color. G4GC’s Pass the Mic Project is a narrative-shifting filmmaking project to amplify these compelling participatory research projects, the amazing work of our grantee partners, and stories by girls and youth of color from around the U.S. In 2022 and 2023, G4GC hosted ten virtual filmmaking workshops and interviewed and filmed youth under the age of 25 in our grantee community from across five major cities.
