GOAL: This leadership program is designed for all female students who want to participate and enhance their emotional, social and academic growth and development while completing their last transition year to middle school, high school, or college. When this is not achieved, she can manifest negative behaviors. This can lead to low or failing grades, low self-esteem, fighting, bullying, and other issues. with P.E.A.R.L.S. addresses these and many more areas of concern. The closed sessions help make a comfortable atmosphere where girls can relate and impact others. Many group activities aid in this developmental process. In addition, G.I.R.L.S. can be paralleled with community leaders as guest speakers based on the various subjects of the syllabus. To continue fostering positive concepts, Standards of Learning are reinforced throughout the curriculum. Writing essays, research papers, journal entries, and oral presentations enrich Language Arts standards. Math is strengthened through financial curriculum completion. Citizenship, character-building activities, program standards, and community service support civics standards. Finally, various topics are explored in health education. This transitional program not only prepares girls for school, but also motivates them to be leaders in life. As each group graduates from the program, applying new skills and building new friendships, they receive next year’s participants into their respective schools and aid in their transitions. Students who join G.I.R.L.S. start off as typical students, but leave as young ladies better equipped emotionally, socially, and academically for middle school, high school, and college. For more information or implement G.I.R.L.S. in your school, community or faith-based organization, please contact: Mrs. Liverman, Owner, at tlive@gwpleaders.com or use this link to fill out request:
