WiseGirls, a Transformational Program for Teen Girls

Building on the demonstrated success of our WiseGuyz and Girls Programs, we are excited to launch WiseGirls, a program to support teen girls as they transition into confident, empowered young women.

WiseGirls is a school- and community-based program for girls in grades 8-9. The program is designed to support essential skills to navigate interpersonal relationships. Grounded in a health promotion framework, the program integrates social-emotional learning to address the social, emotional and developmental needs associated with puberty and identity formation.

Participants explore topics such as:

  • healthy friendships (boundaries, communication and distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy relationships)
  • media influence
  • body image
  • puberty, anatomy, menstruation and pregnancy
  • healthy decision-making
  • emotional regulation and mental health.

The WiseGirls curriculum builds on our Girls Program for girls in elementary school and helps participants understand and navigate gender norms, promote mental and sexual health and develop strong self-advocacy skills.
