LEAVES, a free public health and social action program for girls in 4th-8th grade, will resume this month.

 

GrassROOTS is training girls to be healthy and how to use their healthy energy to make a difference in the world.

 

Our curriculum focuses on four key elements of adolescent girls’ development:

Girls will learn and participate in:

  • Fitness and health workshops
  • Nutrition and cooking workshops
  • Confidence exercises
