Be involved in preparing girls for a future that offers well being, empowerment and a sense of belonging.
“I received the Girl Power Groups Facilitator Training in September 2010 by Sherry, the training itself was fast, fun and informative, very easy to transition into creating my own Girl Power Group sessions with my Grade 7 students. The girls appreciated a safe and engaging environment to just be themselves and they enjoyed all of the topics we discussed particularly, the Meditation Lesson. I’m now on my fourth group! I would highly recommend anyone interested in being a part of empowering girls to honour themselves in a healthy way to take this training!”

“What an amazing training experience! Our precious daughters need to know that the blood of a beautiful nation runs through them and that they are beautiful and wonderfully made. They need to know that they can live and walk, dream and run, believe and soar and that they CAN fulfill the destiny that is before them. This training awoke us to see the obstacles that our girls go through and how we need to provide them with a sense of belonging, guidance and assurance that they are gifts from the Creator and they will grow up to be beautiful successful women in the future. Thank you for the bringing this to Treaty Four Territory! Meegwetch! Thank you!”
