Become a GLOW Leader/Facilitator Today!
By becoming a GLOW Facilitator you will help girls become aware of their strengths and provide them with the tools fundamental to prominent leadership.
The GLOW program integrates and cultivates integrity, self-worth, honesty, pride, and responsibility.
The GLOW Leader/Facilitator Guides and the Online GLOW Leader/Facilitator Training Videos provide everything you need to offer your own GLOW program and impact the lives of the girls in your community in person or virtually.
Our user-friendly guides contain step-by-step instructions on engaging a GLOW group through discussions and creative art/movement activities.
The GLOW program is easily adaptable to your own unique setting by including a GLOW CIRCLE with fitness or without the fitness component.

We have 9 themes to choose from, choose one or purchase all nine themes. Each class is 1.5 hours and run once a week for eight weeks. Each theme is completely different allowing girls to take many consecutive GLOW sessions.
Each 60 to 90 minute class includes:
- Our GLOW Circle time provides a safe place for girls to share their opinions and feelings
- A nutritious snack
- Exposure to fun, creative fitness activities to promote the benefits of daily physical exercise
- Coaching to set and work toward their personal goals
The programs can be offered in your community or in your school during the lunch hour, after school or as part of the Health class curriculum and, most recently, a virtual GLOW program can be offered.
