Join us for the 2025 Grow GatHERing

The Grow GatHERing is an 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.

This event isn't just about tackling tough topics, it's 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.
