About this event

    As a parent to a tween girl, we know this is a crucial time for them to develop their identity. Did you know that by the time they turn 9, many girls start to lose the confidence, gutsiness and fearlessness they once had and develop self-doubt. 

    That’s where Goal setting comes in. It is a vital skill that helps girls navigate the complexities of growing up, equipping them with the mindset and tools needed for success and fulfillment in all areas of their lives and gives them a sense of agency and to shape their own destinies. 

    What Parents Can Expect from this Workshop:

    • Engaging Sessions: The workshop includes interactive activities that teach practical goal-setting techniques your daughters can apply in their daily lives.
    • Inspirational Stories: Your daughters will connect to inspirational stories of women in the Baltimore community who have overcome their own challenges and can serve as real-life examples of perseverance and success.
    • Creative Exercises: Fun and creative exercises will encourage self-expression and help your daughters articulate their dreams and aspirations.
    • Supportive Environment: A nurturing and inclusive environment where girls feel safe to share their experiences and grow together.
    • Action Plans: Your daughters will leave with a personalized action plan that outlines their goals and the steps they need to take to achieve them, plus we’ll offer resources on how you can continue to support them afterwards. 

    Register the girl in your life and join us at the "You Grow Girl" workshop and watch as she blossoms into the confident, resilient, and unstoppable young woman she was born to be.
