After-School Spotlight: Girls Who Dream


The following post was written by Mrs. Crowther. Along with Ms. Karlstad and Ms. Steward, she facilitates the Girls Who Dream meetings on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month. 

Girls Who Dream is a non-profit organization created to enhance the lives of young girls. At Girls Who Dream, it is our mission to help build self-confident young ladies of the future through educating and mentoring.

We teach these young ladies proper etiquette, team building, leadership skills, manners, how to adapt and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and other traits that will prepare them for a future full of living their dreams and fulfilling their aspirations.  We will also expose them to the importance of giving back to our community through a variety of community service events.

The GWD Team believes that it is important for our girls to know they are loved and beautiful. During the month of October, girls are learning to embrace their individual personalities. They are learning about the beauty they have within and out. The girls created  “I AM” boards. These boards were a wonderful way for the girls to embrace things that are unique about them. We look forward to helping guide them to what makes them unique, positive attributes, and self-worth through activities and conversations we have planned for the rest of this month.
