JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Girls Actively Participating! (GAP!) is offering a girls empowerment program in Jackson next month. The powerful, fun experience will help girls tap into their leadership skills and provide new interpersonal development as they enter the complexities of middle and high school.
The workshop will offer three days of fun activities focusing on integrity (who you are), agency (you make a difference), and self-awareness (your actions affect others) for girls entering 7-9th grade this fall.
The GAP! workshop will take place at Powderhorn Park from 9am to 2pm, beginning Monday, August 2 through Wednesday, August 4. The cost is $50 per participant, and scholarships are available. Girls can bring their own lunch and beverage. A few spaces remain. To register, email Elly Garrett.
One of the most difficult challenges for girls entering middle school can be learning how to stay true to yourself, while still voicing your opinions.
Each day will begin with active games, followed by small group activities, artistic projects, lunch, girl talk, and more fun games. In middle school, many girls notice that their friendships, interests, and school pressures dramatically change. This workshop helps girls understand that these changes are normal, and can be navigated in healthy ways.
GAP! is celebrating 24 years of advocating for girls in leadership, and welcomes the opportunity to work with girls in elementary through high school to promote skills for success through education, self-discovery, and community.
