First Lady Michelle Obama presents the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award to the Girlstories Leadership Theatre Programs
Girlstories Leadership Theatre was chosen among more than 400 nominees and 50 finalists, and is one of only 15 programs nationwide to receive the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award - and the only program to be recognized in the southeast U.S.
Presented by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the award honors community-based after-school and out-of-school arts and humanities programs for children with great potential but limited outlets for creative expression and growth.
The Girlstories Leadership Theatre programs are designed for middle school girls between the ages of 10 - 13 who are at a critical crossroads in their development. Through theatre arts, this program teaches the girls how to honor and speak their personal story - and share those stories in performances to elementary school girls - increasing their confidence, communications skills and self-esteem.
Congratulations to all our supporters, volunteers, program participants and teachers who believe in the Powerstories mission of staging true stories to open minds and hearts and inspire action worldwide!
