** Join our VMFA Girl Action Team!
------------------------------------------------------------
Girl Action Teams ([link removed]) create space for girls to “be the change” and design a social change project that solves a problem they see. Each Girl Action Team meets after school and is guided by a female coach.

Our Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) Girl Action Team is in its third year and open to rising 9th-12th grade girls. This year, participants will engage with the museum's newest exhibit Isaac Julien: Lessons of the Hour—Frederick Douglass ([link removed]) . Participants will look through the lens of unsung hero Anne Douglass (Frederick Douglass' wife) and study the impact women have had on social justice, social change, and entrepreneurship.

Program dates: January 23-May 8th
Meeting times: Mondays 5:30-7:00pm
Location: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
200 N Arthur Ashe Blvd.

ORIENTATION: Monday, January 23, 2023 from 5:30-7:00pm

*Participants will have the opportunity to apply for the Girl Ambassador Program ([link removed]) where, upon qualification, they will have the opportunity to be placed in a paid internship (9-12 graders only).
