The Girls Action Book Club is a proactive effort to develop and promote advocacy and creative spaces for girls, young women and gender diverse youth from 12-18 years old. Utilizing the responses from our fall youth consultation program, a diverse group of youth ; from different backgrounds, expressed their interest in having a space that is youth centered to discuss social justice that matters for them or that concern. 

​

Book club youth will have access to:

• A book 

• A meal at each meeting

• Trainings and skills to create a mix media project

• New safe spaces for youth to speak out and take action  on social justice issues that affect them

​

​

Project Objectives:

• Create support networks between racialized girls and gender diverse youth of 12 to 18 years old, who want to take action about inequality and justice in Montreal/Tiotia:ké 

• Create new spaces that are open and safe for the youth to express and take action on social justice issues/struggles that are affecting them or that are important to them

• Co-create with the youth, and create advocacy content that will be shared with the public

• Allow the youth to improve their understanding and to go deeper in their thoughts related to social issues
