Healdsburg, Cloverdale Teens Treated To Girls Night Out
The girls got to hang out, meet other local teens and shop for new shoes, clothes and make-up for spring.
From BGCCSC: Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Sonoma County partnered with Threads for Teens to create a unique event for Healdsburg and Cloverdale girls and their friends.
The SMART Girls program of Boys & Girls Clubs is a small-group prevention, education and self-esteem enhancement program to meet the developmental needs of girls spanning ages 8 to 18. For these Healdsburg and Cloverdale teens, the needs met were friendship, fun and fashion. Members and their friends were invited for a night of pampering at the Healdsburg Boys & Girls Club.
The event was full of fun and frivolity as attendees shared snacks, crafted bath bombs ate DIY Ice Cream and played silly games galore. “We loved partnering with another local nonprofit to make so much fun for our members and their friends.” Area Director, Jade Weymouth, said. “We are all so dedicated to the young people of our communities and the partnership with Threads for Teens is another way we were able to serve.”
