In GIC’s signature 9-week Personal Development Workshop, young girls are given techniques, insights, training and a platform for discussion. The program meets young girls where they are, acknowledging the reality and pressures facing so many of today’s young girls. This program has many objectives. It focuses on building a sense of belonging with each individual member.  During the delivery of the program, the young girls are often able to find security and comfort in each other, thus increasing the self-confidence of everyone. The mentors will teach the mentees how to resist negative peer pressure, help them to think critically with regards to negative media messages and address personal health issues by educating them about substance abuse.
