GGAL Media Projects

These videos were developed as creative projects under the Girls Getting Ahead in Leadership (GGAL) program and the Healthy Relationships program. We believe that art can be a powerful tool for healing and learning. Through art, our students are able to utilize their creative potential and express themselves in diverse ways.

These projects are available to be used as learning tools for youth, youth workers, and educators. Check out some of our projects below!

Video Projects

GGAL - Here For You [MV]

Performed in Spanish and English by our GGAL youth, this music video acknowledges the pain of heartbreak and rediscovering your self-worth after a breakup.

Communicating Consent: a dating violence awareness story

About: Mia has always wanted to be in a relationship and is thrilled when she and Felix begin dating. However, Felix seems to want more than what Mia is ready to give.

Communication, honesty and respect make relationships better. Asking for consent shows respect for yourself and your partner. Your body belongs to you and no one should have entitlement over that.

These projects are funded by a grant from the MN Department of Health.
