Mission:
To provide a supportive environment for girls, 10-15 years old from diverse backgrounds, in which they can develop and experience a sense of positive selfhood through meaningful conversations, intentional thought enhancement, positive peer engagement, and fun individual and group activities.
Purpose:
This program seeks to enhance the trajectory of the overall wellbeing-spirit, mind, body, and soul of each girl who participates. Young girls will be able to develop and hone interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to serve them throughout their own lives, and gain a bond of sisterhood knowing they are not alone and are more powerful than they know.
Goal:
To positively influence the healthy development of 10-15 year old girls by providing an open and nurturing space to discover their individual and collective strength to be and do good for themselves and in the world.

- Potentially have opportunities to interact with their peers from diverse cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, and differing abilities.
- Have the opportunities to develop, learn and practice life skills including budgeting and goal setting.
