Be The Change Lead The Way – Girls Only Program (Middle/High School)

Being a teen girl has its ups and downs – especially in middle and high school when girls are trying to find their voices, discover their power and search for confidence and self-esteem. Often times, their relationships prove to be the playing ground for such self-discovery, commonly leading to relational aggression or “mean girl” behavior. Thankfully, it’s no longer thought of as just a normal part of growing up, and is recognized instead for the major impact it has on self-esteem, confidence and school performance.

Our breakthrough program will empower your girls with effective tools and strategies to create change in their schools and communities by discovering their leadership potential, taking 100% responsibility for their thoughts, actions and words, standing up and speaking out, being aware of the impact their words have on others, and by taking part in school based projects and initiatives to lead the way towards a more positive school environment.
