The Grow GatHERing is an empowering event open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade female students, forming a vital part of our action plan to address the critical issues of substance use, mental health, and resilience among youth.
But wait — it gets even better! This event isn't just about tackling tough topics — it's also packed with fun, excitement, and engaging experiences. We've carefully designed the content and activities to ensure participants have a great time while building essential life skills.
At the Grow GatHERing, students will discover tools to boost self-esteem, strengthen emotional regulation, enhance self-efficacy, and build supportive relationships — all key components of social and emotional well-being.
Just imagine the lasting impact this transformative experience can have on your child's future. This isn’t just a one-day event — it’s a launchpad for helping young girls successfully navigate the challenges of adolescence with confidence and support.
