Girls Circle

Each or every other week, a group of six to ten girls of similar age and development meet with a facilitator for 1 1/2 to two hours. The facilitator leads the girls group through a format that includes each girl taking turns talking and listening to one another respectfully about their concerns and interests. The girls express themselves further through creative or focused activities such as role-playing, drama, journaling, poetry, drama, dance, drawing, collage, clay, and computer. Themes are introduced which relate to the girls’ lives, such as being a girl, trusting ourselves, friendships, body image, goals, competition, and decision-making.
