Expression  is a  program that aims to support and strengthen the cultural, artistic and heritage expressions of anglophone girls, young women, and gender diverse youth living in Montreal by creating spaces where they can participate in activities that support their mental health and well-being; express themselves on issues that are important and real to them; engage in cross cultural exchange and intergenerational mentorship; and ultimately walk away with a greater a sense of belonging among one another and to their local community, all through culturally relevant creative arts activities facilitated by BIPOC and QTBIPOC members of the anglophone community in Montreal. 
 

With the help, support and guidance of our local network members and community partners/contacts who also work with anglophone youth, we will recruit a group of 4-6 youth representing diverse communities in Montreal to participate in creating a podcast on their cultural heritage. It is important to Girls Action Foundation to create an inclusive and accessible platform that can reach all the youth in the communities that we serve.

• Provide opportunities for English-speaking young women and gender diverse youth (especially from BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and disability communities) to express themselves, develop community, and gain confidence and new skills
