She Can Choose!

Welcome to the She Can Choose! Program, a transformative journey for self-identifying girls (inclusive of cisgender and transgender) and non-binary youth that centers around the power of choice and its impact on our lives.

This program offers a diverse range of hands-on and group experiences, reinforcing the importance of making conscious choices - from choosing to prioritize health and doing our best, to taking accountability and celebrating our unique qualities. Through engaging activities, participants will develop stronger communication skills, while learning to recognize stress and acquire healthy ways to respond to it- essential skills that support healthy decision-making and help resist negative peer pressure.

The She Can Choose! Program is designed for self-identifying girls (inclusive of cisgender and transgender) and non-binary youth in grades 3-8, a critical stage of personal growth and development. We believe that empowering self-identifying girls (inclusive of cisgender and transgender) and non-binary youth during this pivotal time can lead to lasting positive outcomes in their lives.

We understand that every child is unique. She Can! facilitators are dedicated to tailoring the learning experience to cater to each individual's needs and interests.

At She Can Choose!, we create a nurturing and supportive environment where self-identifying girls (inclusive of cisgender and transgender) and non-binary youth can explore the power of their choices and gain the confidence to make positive decisions that shape their futures

Learning focuses:
This program embraces three key learning focuses and is tailored based on the needs and interests of the participants in each session.

  • Communication: Participants will learn valuable communication skills that empower them to express themselves authentically and assertively.
  • Stress Management: Stress is a natural part of life, and equipping participants with tools to recognize and manage stress in healthy ways is vital.
  • Peer Pressure: In the formative years of adolescence, peer pressure can be influential and impactful. We aim to empower participants to make confident choices aligned with their values, enabling them to resist negative peer pressure and embrace their authentic selves.
