In School Workshops

Girls are faced with a variety of complex and ever growing challenges at each stage in their lives. Our School Lunch Programs and In-school Workshops look to provide girls with the
skills and knowledge to navigate through these challenges, being true to themselves and making informed decisions.

In-School Lunch Program
Our lunch programs are one hour per week, for 60 minutes during your school’s lunch hour, for 8 – 10 consecutive weeks.

School Lunch programs begin every October, January, and April.

*Please note that registration forms will need to be filled out by parents in order to attend.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Healthy friendships and peer relationships
  • Coping with Stress
  • Social Media Awareness and Safety
  • Empowerment and Advocacy
  • Communication
  • Leadership

In-School Workshops

We offer 2-hour in-school workshops for up to 30 girls each, including topics like Transition to High School, Healthy Relationships, Building Self-Confidence, and Pillars of Mental
Health. Our goal is to enhance critical thinking, boost decision-making confidence, promote mutual support among girls, and reduce conflicts. These workshops aim to equip girls with skills to navigate adolescence successfully.

Girls Will:

  • Develop skills for positive relationships and confident decision-making
  • Identify and interpret both obvious and hidden media messages
  • Build assertiveness and leadership skills to navigate peer pressures
  • Use effective communication in teaching and peer interactions
  • Manage stress with healthy strategies
  • Foster positive relationships and support other girls
  • Incorporate positive mental health practices into daily life
