Baby, you're a firework

Now more than ever, girls are experiencing challenges in their emotional, physical, and mental health. Between the isolation of a pandemic to learning to live in a world turned upside down, the need for mentorship and community is more important than ever. Our 8 week Sparklers Mentorship program combines mindset coaching, support for emotional and mental health, and an outlet for physical activity. Our goal is to help each girl find her inner sparkle - the Joy of being herself - and sparkle together as a community of girls who support girls. 

PROGRAM OUTLINE  - 5 PILLARS

Each week in our mentorship time together, we will speak to each one of these pillars. Activities will be based on each pillar to help participants build a kit of tools to help them navigate tween and teen life. Self defence and combat training will be a part of each week's class.

Each week participants will be sent home with challenges. When returning to their next class, we will celebrate the wins and achievements in the challenges they were assigned.
