SHE
Strong | Healthy | Empowered
SHE is a 14-week program for pre-teen girls in 5th– 8th grade. This program focuses on building confidence, making social connections, and learning more about topics relevant in pre-teen life!
For the first hour, expert guest speakers come to share knowledge and skills with the girls. The speakers are invited from various Washington or Ozaukee county community organizations. For the second hour, discussion and activities designed for the weekly topic are led by our SHE facilitators!
SHE Focuses on growing an individual’s mental, social, emotional, and physical health through discussion, education, and skill building. The girls who participate build self-esteem and are empowered to create lasting friendships before entering high school!
