Amy Poehler's Smart Girls is an organization and website aimed at helping young women with life's problems in a funny but informative way. It was founded by actor Amy Poehler, Executive Director Meredith Walker, who was the former senior producer for Nick News and the head of talent for Saturday Night Live, and recording artist Amy Miles, who is involved in the musical content on the site.

"Founded by artist Amy Poehler and producer Meredith Walker, Amy Poehler's Smart Girls organization is dedicated to helping young people cultivate their authentic selves. We emphasize intelligence and imagination over "fitting in." We celebrate curiosity over gossip. We are a place where people can truly be their weird and wonderful selves. We are funny first, and informative second, hosting the party you want to attend."

Smart Girls was purchased by Legendary Entertainment in 2014.

Smart Girls at the Party

Amy Poehler's Smart Girls was originally Smart Girls at the Party, a YouTube channel dedicated to encouraging women and men to express themselves. Smart Girls at the Party started around 2007 by Poehler and Walker and their first video was posted on YouTube in 2008.

Amy Poehler was quoted on Feminist.com talking about how she and her co founders came up with the idea for Smart Girls.

"The idea came out of us wishing we had a time machine so we could go back to the younger versions of ourselves and let them know it was gonna be ok. We wanted to do a show that we would have wanted to watch at that age. And we knew we wanted to have a dance party at the end. We basically started with the dance party and worked backwards."

The YouTube channel has since been changed to "Amy Poehler's Smart Girls" YouTube channel.
