Go Girls! Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds is a group mentoring program that encourages physical activity, healthy eating and the development of a positive self-image among girls aged 11 to 14. This program just completed its a successful pilot program at a local elementary school and will look at growing in the fall of 2011.

Our Go Girls! mentors are young women who are enthusiastic, caring and passionate about healthy living and physical activity. Once they have completed the training, Go Girls! mentors co-facilitate a group of up to 12 girls through weekly activities and discussions at the girls' school. Depending on the school, the program runs for 7-9 weeks.

Many of our volunteers say they get as much out of this experience as they give. So believe us when we tell you: it's the fun, flexible way to make a BIG difference!
