Getting Started FAQ's
How many kiddos do I need to get started?
One. Every Girl counts.
What ages are right for this?
The program is built for ages 5-9! However if you have a bit younger or older, welcome them in. You will find the content can be flexible to encourage all of our Girls.
Should I mix ages?
If you have enough leaders and Girls to break the club up into groups, this would allow for some amazing synergy! However, mixing Girls of all ages and teaching Girls to support Girls is a fundamental in our program. There is room for everyone and we should always be looking to lift each other rather than compete.
Who should lead our club?
A teacher, approved parent, librarian, bookstore representative, or community leader identifying as a woman is ideal. However, if there is a passionate Dad out there who also wants to start the club, go for it! If you are a male leader, we would suggest trying to invite high school girl volunteers from NHS or a sports team, women leaders in your community, moms who want to support...etc in to meetings so that girls feel that they are supported by women in their community.
Can this work in my library?

Can this work in my bookstore?

Can this work in my church?
Oh yeah.
Can this work in my community center?
Yeppers.
Can I have more than one school meet together?
Of course! The more the merrier.
