About the Amplify Toolkit: Designing Spaces and Programs for Girls




The Amplify Toolkit contains a Manual and a Workshop Guide. Full of reflections and recommendations from girls’ program leaders across Canada, it offers ideas on how to best start safer spaces and programming. We hope to highlight and share some of the most valuable lessons learned by these leaders through their programming experience, as well as to provide a forum through which to share the work we love. The content also comes directly from our own experiences as girls’ program and project leaders. It is not intended to provide rules for how to develop programs, but rather to highlight guidelines and tips that we have found useful.

 

In the Manual you will find:

 

  • Organizational elements of girls’ programming

  • Facilitation and workshop design elements of girls’ programming

  • An elaboration on a popular education approach to girls’ programming

  • Example forms, templates, and information sheets

  • A glossary of useful terms and terminology

 

 

In the Workshop Guide you will find:

 

  • A collection of workshops grounded in the popular education approach

  • Information sheets to supplement these workshops

For additional information on any topic covered in the Toolkit, please refer to our Online Resource Centre.

 

With the Amplify Toolkit, we aim to inspire, support, and strengthen the development and delivery of girls’ programs. Hopefully, the Toolkit will help you to create programs that reflect the needs of your specific community, while also meeting the vision and objectives held by Girls Action and our National Network members. We look forward to receiving your input and suggestions, as we will continue to expand on what this resource has to offer.
