Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds

GO GIRLS! is a mentor-led program designed for girls age 11 - 13 who want to grow, connect, and feel empowered. The program provides a safe, supportive, and fun environment where participants can explore what it means to be healthy - not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and mentally.


This is a 8-10 week program. Meeting once a week for 2 hours. Each session combines a variety of activities, including games, creative projects, and guided discussions, giving girls the opportunity to:

  • Build self-esteem and confidence by celebrating their unique strengths and accomplishments.
  • Develop leadership and life skills through hands-on activities and mentorship guidance.
  • Form meaningful friendships with peers and mentors, creating a network of support and encouragement.
  • Make informed choices for overall well-being, including healthy habits, positive decision-making, and emotional self-care.

The program is designed to engage girls in a small group setting, providing a chance to explore important topics, ask questions, and share their thoughts in a safe and respectful space. Mentors are specially trained young women who are passionate about guiding and supporting participants, helping them navigate the challenges of adolescence while fostering personal growth and empowerment.

By participating in GO GIRLS!, young women gain more than just knowledge they build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that extend far beyond the program. Through fun activities, meaningful discussions, and the encouragement of mentors, participants are empowered to discover their strengths, embrace their individuality, and carry positive habits and self-esteem into every area of their lives.

GO GIRLS! is more than a program, it's a journey of growth, friendship, and empowerment for young women ready to explore who they are and what they are capable of achieving.
