Self-Esteem Retreat for Middle School Girls

A one-day retreat from the women who bring you Girls on the Run.

Got a girl entering 6th grade who needs to speed her development of self-esteem?

You might want to sign her up for a one-day retreat with "G2G" on Sunday, August 28.

During the retreat, which is geared for girls entering middle school, the girls will — in a safe, supportive and fun group setting — explore knowing and valuing who they are, discussing fears and giving/receiving support, creating healthy friendships, goal setting, managing stress, and assertiveness skills.
