Who We Are
PEARLS Supports youth identifying as a girl in 5th-12th grade to develop skills for their personal and professional growth. PEARLS girls make positive decisions, live lives they can be proud of, and help build stronger, healthier communities.
What We Do
PEARLS groups meet once or twice weekly at local schools, community centers, and our PEARLS office.
Our groups are:
-
Safe spaces for girls in 5th-12th grade
-
Run by a team of program coordinators, associate program coordinators and teen facilitators.
-
Free and 100% voluntary
PEARLS groups are fun, interactive sessions that bring girls together to have REAL conversations, play games, and learn more about themselves and the world around them.
We focus on these core areas: Self-Development, Self-Esteem Building, Building Healthy Relationships, College & Career Readiness, Striving to Achieve, Helping Hands in the Community, Social Emotional Learning, Trauma-Informed Care.
You can find a PEARLS group at schools, community centers, or at the PEARLS office.
All groups provide support, snacks, and activities focused on the above areas.
