Welcome to Confidence Club!

Middle School (Grades 5-8)

FREE SMALL, IN-PERSON GROUPS

October 6 - December 4, 2025

Confidence Club gives girls a welcoming and supportive space to build self-esteem, strengthen their social and emotional skills, and feel connected. In small groups led by caring coaches, participants join a safe and brave environment where they can share openly, practice confidence-building activities, and form positive, meaningful relationships.

Groups won’t meet on half days or during seasonal break. We follow the public school calendar for snow days.

Note: The CT Governor’s mask mandate expired on 2/28 and masking policies are now determined by local control.LiveGirl's priority is making sure our girls and mentors are safe and we follow local mask policies. Where the policy is mask optional, we are intentional about creating a safe space where girls feel comfortable exercising their decision on whether or not to wear a mask.
