GirlZone.com, Online Trailblazer, Is Re-Launched

April 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Burlington, VT, April 9, 2010 – Girl Zone Corporation has re-launched www.girlzone.com with unique features, a new design and a variety of new partnerships.

Girl Zone is a hip and healthy online magazine and community for teenage girls ages 12 and up. The site provides information and interactivity to teen girls in an empowering environment. Girl Zone was originally launched in 1997 with a specific “whole girl” mission in mind. Founder, MJ Reale states, “Girl Zone was one of the first websites to target teen girls and quickly became a top destination for this group. While the internet has vastly changed, many issues relevant to girls’ lives have not changed. We are excited about the re-launch and will continue to listen to and involve girls of this generation.” Girl Zone offers rich content related to all aspects of a girls life - sports, fashion, careers, life issues, health/body, entertainment, volunteering, DIY, environment, relationships, technology etc.
