"the viBe song"
written by elba

it’s here, it’s here
where my troubles disappear

it’s here, it’s here
where I can face my fears

it’s here, it’s here
where it’s all become so clear

that I’ve known all along who I am

Girls Life Adventure viBe programs

Girls Life Adventure (GLA) In partnership with Girls Write Now, viBe launched GLA in Fall 2006. GLA is an arts based/ life skills program for teenage girls in New York City. Through a series of writing, performance and publication workshops the girls use creative approaches to discover practical solutions for the challenges they face. Each Quest embraces a specific topic. A team of peer leaders, teaching artists and experts from the community serve as Quest Guides. Each Quest includes a workshop and an accompanying Travel Guidebook that has been created by the peer leaders. The workshops are fun, informative, interactive afternoons of arts-based activities inspired by the theme of the Quest. The workshop includes a tour or experience generated by a New York City location that specifically relates to the Quest theme.
