What makes Funny Girls™ leadership curriculum stand out?

Improv opens the door

We’re often asked: Why use improv to teach leadership skills? Our research and experience have shown us that improv transforms the traditional classroom into a play space full of possibility. Using improv as a methodology, we activate learning key leadership skills through play: Self-Awareness, Learning Agility, Collaboration, Empathy, Creativity, and Resiliency.

Modern social and emotional learning (SEL)

We know that girls and gender expansive kids experience pivotal shifts in their development during the 3rd-8th grade years, and SEL-focused programs that build and retain confidence through those years are key. By giving each girl a microphone and a safe space to explore her voice, we strengthen their existing talents, introduce new leadership concepts and have fun doing it together.
