Group types and locations
We offer different types of groups to meet different needs:
Over the past nearly three decades of service, we’ve adapted to reach girls where they are in Milwaukee.
All girls, no matter the type of group, receive support, snacks, and activities that focus on our core areas: self-development, self-esteem building, building healthy relationships, social emotional learning, helping hands in the community, and college and career readiness.
We offer two types of groups: Traditional and In-House
