All virtual groups will be limited to 15 girls and in-person groups will be limited to 10 girls and will be hosted by a professional (adult) mentor.

Amid the pandemic, connection and confidence are more important than ever. Our Confidence Clubs allow girls to foster connections and develop social emotional intelligence and resiliency.
