Links to Sites Especially for Girls

With recommendations by Alice Norman (age 14).

***girlzChannel - moderated chat, email, and more--Alice's favorite: "It catches your eyes because of all the color, and it had things to do that girls would really like doing, a place to chat, get advice,etc."

**A Girl's World Online Clubhouse - a totally girl-powered website, inviting contributions from girls. Alice says "it was fun to look around in and do some of the stuff."

*SmartGirl - says their goal is "promoting media either designed for or made by girls and women"; includes reviews of computer games, movies, videos--all written by girls.  Has a bulletin board section where members can write in questions about school, parents, jobs, money, body, etc.  (There's a sign-in for members, which requires establishing that you area girl aged 12-20 and having a review accepted to be posted on the site.)  Alice liked this one, too: "a good website also because it's like a magazine and it's sortta like the others."

GurlWorld - by and about girls 11 to 14

GirlGeeks - tech for young women

Girl Power - health info for girls

Girl Tech - tech for young women

GirlSite - online community aimed at empowering girls

Go-Girl - describes itself as a "socially-savvy center of Go Girl fun!" Looks sort of like an online magazine, with departments for Beauty, Fitness, Fashion, Play & Study.  They also seem to be mostly selling products.

Sites that have lists of links to other sites:

Yahooligans - looks just like the Yahoo main search page, but emphasizing kid-friendly sites

Yahoo's list of teenage girls sites

Yahoo's list of entertainment sites for girls

Girllink - list provided by the National Coalition of Girls Schools (NCGS), emphasis on education and learning
