Outreach Antigone Rising visits schools, community & youth centers, embassies and corporations for a 60-90 minute outreach program.We share stories about our experience as women in a male-dominated industry. We weave songs throughout the program as relevant to the discussion. A typical outreach ends with a Q&A period and song requests from the audience. The band's light-hearted rapport makes every Girls Rising event unique, entertaining and informative. Most importantly, a Girls Rising outreach always leaves kids (and grown ups) feeling empowered. Mentoring Antigone Rising mentors aspiring female artists through performance and songwriting workshops.
