Amplify Toolkit
The Amplify Toolkit is a compilation of over 15 years of Girls Action’s expertise in delivering and supporting girls’ programs, as well as the endless knowledge and insights collected from our National Network Members. The result is innovative best practices, tips and activities for anyone wanting to start or strengthen a girls program.
The Toolkit is comprised of a “how-to” Manual and a Workshop Guide. In the Manual you will find a comprehensive look at how to organize and facilitate girls’ programs. The Workshop Guide is a collection of over 50 activities from girls’ programmers across the country.
