What We Offer
Group Mentoring
Girls group mentoring programs celebrate individuality while providing safe spaces for girls and women to connect and share their voices and common experiences. When girls are given tools, space, and encouragement, they are empowered to develop their voices in their communities.

Reading Literacy to Success
& Book Club
Reading both solitary and communal, has an impact on who we are and how we interact with the world. For students of all ages, whether they’re in a small group setting or a large seminar discussion, conversations about books tend to turn into conversations about being human. Reading also helps them expand their horizons as they learn more about people and the world
Financial Literacy
Every person who understands how to manage their finances and build their wealth improves not only their futures but those of their families and communities. We believe that education should be fun so that students are more motivated to learn.
Activities & Crafts
Arts and craft activities help instill a sense of achievement and pride, boosting their self-confidence. The opportunity to create whatever a child desire helps foster creativity. A child will learn to make correct and effective decisions by facing and solving artistic challenges.
Youth Zoom Connection
Toast Master for Youth
Mentoring is a big piece of development and leadership, and it can’t wait until people can meet face-to-face. Fortunately, mentors cannot provide continual support through virtual learning, and it has been a great success.

​
All teens can benefit from what Toastmasters teaches. Young people will need communication skills to deliver classroom presentations, interview for jobs, speak up in the workplace, and attentively listen to others. Once they’re out in the larger world, they’ll need interpersonal skills to navigate sticky situations that will inevitably arise with colleagues or friends.
Health & Wellness
Regular physical activity helps develop your child's fundamental movement skills (i.e. physical literacy). In addition to helping maintain healthy body weight, physical activity can help remain healthy bones, muscles, heart, and lungs. Physical activity also helps your child keep a healthy body weight
Special Events
We also host different events, holiday parties, and field trips for the girls. Some of the educational outings will be visiting various colleges and exposing our young girls to the possibilities.
