Positive, female role models lead discussion regarding difficulties girls are facing today. Our facilitators provide an open, judgment-free atmosphere that allows girls to feel comfortable asking questions and exploring different topics. It focuses on improving their mental, social, emotional and physical health through discussion, education and skill-building. The girls are able to build self-esteem and create lasting friendships prior to entering high school.

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.
