Other Clubhouse Finalists
In addition to these two award winners, other Clubhouse members were among the finalists and we want to acknowledge their achievements!
Toya, age 16, from the Taita Clubhouse in New Zealand, was a finalist in the Courage category for her “Girl” video, a powerful spoken word about the need for girls to support each other.
Sol Cascante, age 15, from the Casa de la Juventud Mora in Costa Rica, was a finalist in the Changemaker category for her video “Behind The Mask: Sexual Harassment.” Sol made the creative decision to tell her story with no words. Her video relies on imagery and music to tell the story of how harassment is persistent in a girl’s life.
