Get Social Media Savvy at the Fairfield PAL Girls Circle!

A new Girls Circle is starting at the Fairfield PAL Teen Center.

Together with the Soroptimist International of Central Solano County, Fairfield PAL invites girls to join the next Girls Circle and learn how to stay happily connected with friends and avoid social media drama, what to do when DM’ing gets messy, understanding how social media affects your emotions, and get real about the virtual world of photos and posts.

An essential tool and resource to promote healthy development for girls growing up in today’s digital world, this circle will meet on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30pm. Providing skills development for media literacy, digital citizenship, and more accurate information on how to use social media safely and in more of an emotionally healthy manner, this curriculum harnesses the relational strengths of youth to effectively explore the complex intersecting topics of technology, body image, cyberbullying, exploitation, and relationships. Girls Circle is a structured support group for girls and gender-expansive youth that integrates relational theory, resiliency practices, and skills training. Each circle is designed to increase positive connection, strengths, and competence in girls. Dinner is provided at each session thanks to the members of the Soroptimist International of Central Solano County.

A Free PAL membership is required to participate. Fairfield PAL is open to Fairfield, Suisun, and Travis teens ages 13-18 who are enrolled in middle or high school. Memberships are available at the Fairfield Community Center (1000 Kentucky Street in Fairfield) with a valid student ID and a parent or guardian’s signature. For more information, please call 707 330 8757.
