GLOW Leaders are saying…

“I have been leading the GLOW girls program for 2 years, and the continued enthusiasm is invigorating.

The young girls who come to the program truly enjoy getting to meet new friends. and learn outside of the

classroom.

I feel that the program has a multitude of benefits. We have created a space where we gather and everyone is encouraged to be themselves, share experiences, and try new things, without having to worry about judgement from others. The topics covered through the various GLOW themes are largely relevant to the girls visiting the program. The topic of cyber-bullying - which grew to discussions of bullying in general - brought up some great strategies for the girls to try in situations at school.

Aside from the topics (of which we are currently on our 4th), trying out new fitness activities and introducing girls to healthy foods they have never tried is fun. Seeing the girls grow over the 8 weeks from a group of girls into a group of friends is something I am very proud to be a part of.”
