About GirlTalk
Girl Talk Workshops and Assemblies are discussion and activity-based programs that address the challenges that girls are facing. Girl Talk Workshops are offered to schools and community groups year-round. These sessions are designed for 3rd-12th grade girls, parents, and educators.
Girl Talk Workshops and Assemblies allow participants the opportunity to educate themselves and ask candid questions of professionals and role models. For over 15 years, GEN has provided a safe, girl-only environment where girls can discuss their concerns about topics that are sometimes too difficult to talk about with family and friends.
In the 2013-2014 school year, Girl Talk Workshops impacted over 2,500 girls and over 300 parents in many central Texas school districts and community organizations. Workshops are designed to reach all girls in grades 3-12.
Girl Talk Workshops are also available anywhere in the state of Texas!
Workshop Format
Girl Talk Workshops can accommodate groups of 10-50 participants. Each workshop can be scheduled for 30-90 minutes to fit your needs. Workshops are a great tool for school classes, community groups, and parents.

All you have to provide is a classroom space, school contact person, and participants. GEN brings the rest!
