Overview
We will ensure more Girls have access to Girls Circle. Since Fall 2008,we have served 180 girls. Despite many dedicated hours from our volunteers we have many Girls waiting to participate in a Girls Circle. This grant will help us to meet the demand that we are receiving from Girls, School and Community Agencies.
From these groups, this is some of the feedback we have received:
"That I’m a better more open person, That I can control myself better and I can just take a breather, I’m more social, I found that I can talk to people about any problems or anything, I think I’m a bit funner, That I’m a better person, I’m nicer, I’m not as shy anymore, I feel better about myself."
"You could say whatever without being judged, and what you say stays in the circle, That I could open up, the people I made friends with, I can trust people and they can trust me too, to see different people, you are free to speak your mind"
