Our staff is dedicated, thoughtful, and committed to working with and for girls. We live in Minnesota, Texas, Colorado & California, with our Girls Editorial Board living around the world, working hard every day to encourage girls' self-expression and creativity. GEB member Alexa observes, "All you hear about in the media is people from different countries fighting, but here are a bunch of people across the globe making a great magazine and website for girls!"
