Girl Be Heard's mission is to develop, amplify, and celebrate the voices of young women and gender nonconforming youth through socially conscious theatre-making. We create theatre inspired, written, and performed by our participants (ages 12-21) that addresses global and local social issues such as bullying, body image, self-harm, sex trafficking, forced child marriage, and gender-based violence.

Our education curriculum encourages critical thinking about social justice, challenges stereotypes, fosters friendships, and equips participants with tools for community change. Our programs are based in 13 NYC sites.

We are a young, energetic team that values a supportive, transparent, and diverse work environment. We seek innovative, passionate individuals eager to take ownership of key organizational aspects and help us grow.

Our office is located in DUMBO, Brooklyn, in a wheelchair-accessible, air-conditioned building. We strongly encourage applications from queer individuals, trans people, people of color, women, and other underrepresented groups.
