Seattle, Wash., Dec. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Girls\u2019 Voices<\/a>, a signature program of the national nonprofit Greater Good Charities<\/a>, announces the winners of the Girls\u2019 Voices for Change contest. The global changemaker contest with a theme to help people, pets and the planet, asked students to share a video proposal for a changemaking idea in their community and\/or a photo essay showing positive change taking place in their life. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe every girl deserves an education and that every girl has a voice, and that those voices drive change,” said Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities. \u201cChange starts young and we want to support these young and talented women to help them make a difference in their local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2020 winners were selected from hundreds of entries submitted by young women, ages 13-21, from over 50 countries in three categories: people, pets and the planet. The grand prize video winners will each receive a $5,000 cash prize and the grand prize photo winners will each receive a $500 cash prize. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The grand prize video winners will receive mentorship from the Girls\u2019 Voices team, to help implement their changemaking ideas. The grand prize winners of the Girls\u2019 Voices for Change contest follow:<\/p>\n

Girls\u2019 Voices is a media training and scholarship program of Greater Good Charities for girls who face obstacles to their education. Through digital media training, Girls\u2019 Voices empowers girls around the world to learn how to tell their own stories through film and lead the change in the fight for education.<\/p>\n

Currently, more than 130 million girls are not in school. This is the direct result of cultural, social, and economic barriers that stand in the way of girls who want to learn. Supporting adolescent girls\u2019 education in particular can have significant effects in transforming not only one girl\u2019s life, but her community\u2019s as well. Girls’ Voices addresses these barriers and showcases the stories of trailblazing girls who are fighting for their education.<\/p>\n

The Girls\u2019 Voices for Change contest was made possible with support from The Literacy Site, FreeTheOcean.com, MyPetCandle, and the Klintworth Family Foundation.<\/p>\n
