Teens
SHE (Strong Healthy Empowered) Pre-Teen Program
The SHE (Strong Healthy Empowered) Pre-Teen Program focuses on improving the mental, social, emotional and physical health of girls in grades 5th-8th through discussion, education and skill-building. The girls are able to build self-esteem and create lasting friendships prior to entering high school. All programs are led by positive, adult female Y-facilitators, who provide an open and judgement free atmosphere for topic exploration. Additionally, some weeks are led by community professionals who are experts in that week’s topic.
Biweekly Topics May Include: Welcome Gathering & Getting to Know One Another, Healthy Friendships, Self-Defense, Giving Back, Yoga, Coping With Stress, Healthy Eating & Nutrition, Mental Health & Self-Care, Body Image & Confidence, Positive Free Time, The Babysitting Certification Course, Substance Abuse, Money and Time Management and Day at the Y.
Each program site will meet every 2-3 weeks from 6:00-8:00 PM from October-April, for a total of 14 sessions. Program sites and meeting days include:
