Girls Circle empowers girls ages 14 - 19 by providing them with a supportive environment to focus on improving decision making skills, self-esteem, and resiliency. Girls talk about body image, friendship, media influence, exclusion, stereotypes, and other issues that affect the life of adolescent girls. The sessions foster trust, respect, and self-confidence. The goal of the Circle is to enhance girls’ abilities to take full advantage of their talents, academic interests, and potential for healthy relationships. Enrollment in Girls Circle is free to eligible participants, enrollment is limited. This program is funded by the Juvenile Justice Advisory Board.
