In beTWEEN Girls is an organization dedicated to empowering the lives of pre-teen girls by teaching them self worth, self confidence, boundaries, and to love and accept themselves. The program provides tools that enhances their ability to connect with their inner voice, and appreciate their own uniqueness. Through techniques such as mindfulness, positive thought, yoga, and fun, but inspirational c
rafts and activities, the girls can begin to easily navigate through this confusing and a somewhat emotional time in their lives. Our In beTWEEN Girls will discover their natural talents, self fulfillment, volunteerism, and invaluable life skills. In beTWEEN Girls offers empowerment workshops, leadership programs, Day Camps and parent workshops (including some parent-child bonding classes). However, our Mentorship Program may be our most enriching program for both the pre-teen girls and their teen mentors. Teen Mentors are carefully screened and selected based on their ability to be a strong, positive role model. They are then paired with the most compatible In beTWEEN Girl to offer guidance and encouragement. One-on-one activities, that will help develop personal, trust worthy relationships will offer support with topics such as peer pressure, friendships/relationships problems, body image, school issues, and decision making skills. The program offers advancement opportunities in our organization for the Teen Mentors as well as scholarship possibilities. The young In beTWEEN Girls learn to strengthen their interpersonal and leadership skills, and work their way up to be a Mentor to the new girls that come into the program. We will also offer structured group mentoring programs once a month to those girls that wish to develop to their fullest potential, but are not able to participate in our one-on-one program. We strongly believe in giving back and host many outreach and volunteer activities. The girls all have an opportunity to work on rewarding service projects, and take part in and/or help plan fundraising efforts to support our Mentor Scholarships. All of the girls gain the experience and confidence needed to emerge as capable, determined, and inspiring young women in our community. They leave with fun memories, friendships, clear paths, mindfulness, and an inner strength that will last throughout their lives.
