Rise Girl™ is an initiative designed to empower girls in grades 3-5 and 6-8 to thrive mentally and physically.

Our mission is to equip them with the tools they need to build confidence, foster positive connections, develop healthy habits, and cultivate a strong sense of self.

Through a unique blend of engaging activities, positive journaling, weekly workouts, and interactive sessions, Rise Girl™ addresses the critical need for girls to build tools for their wellbeing toolbox.  These tools help them to navigate emotions, and social pressures, manage stress, and achieve well-being in a supportive and encouraging environment.

According to CDC data released in 2023, nearly 3 in 5 (57%) U.S. teen girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021—double that of boys, representing a nearly 60% increase and the highest level reported over the past decade.  This fact combined with the fact that 50% of mental health problems are established by age 14 and 75% by age 24.2 means that the time is NOW to focus on the wellbeing of young girls.  

Girls in grades 3-5 and 6-8 are at a critical developmental stage to build skills to support their mental and physical well-being.  The Rise Girl™ program addresses this need by providing a safe space for girls to build confidence, develop positive self-esteem, and establish healthy coping mechanisms.
