Your child deserves to know their own bodybefore the worldtells them.

Keeping a small, intimate group size allows the girls to feel safe, ask important questions, and share freely. 12 is the maximum amount of girls that are allowed to enroll in any one class. A minimum of 8 girls is required to hold a session.

Sex education is not part of the first Girls Club program. Girls in 5th, 6th and 7th grade will have the opportunity to continue to Girls Club level II, where age-appropriate sex education will be introduced after they complete the first program. Level II is coming soon, so keep an eye out for more information.

Girls Club curriculum is not aligned with a specific set of religious teachings. Instead, the content is presented with an energy of self-love, appreciation for the human body, wonder and amazement for the body's capabilities, and celebration of our unique selves.

No. Girls Club does not teach abstinence. For 5th, 6th, and 7th graders, sex education is introduced with a basic, age appropriate definition as part of understanding human anatomy and reproduction. Girls Club focuses on providing accurate, age-appropriate information without shame and fear. More comprehensive conversation about sex, including healthy relationships, consent, and responsible decision-making, will be part of Girls Club Level II.

Appropriate/scientific terms are taught for female and male anatomy. However, the terms 'masturbation' and 'orgasm' are not used. When teaching about the clitoris, whose only function is to experience enjoyment/pleasure, girls are encouraged to understand, explore, and view their bodies as a gift.

No. These topics are not part of the Girls Club curriculum. If a girl brings up a question, it will be acknowledged respectfully and without judgment, while keeping the conversation appropriate to the scope of the program. For more specific questions, girls will be encouraged to continue the conversation with their parent or caregiver.

No. This topic rarely comes up, but if it does, it is handled the same way as explained in the previous answer.

It is important to have an understanding and appreciation for female and male anatomy. When factual information and terminology are presented/learned, it normalizes language and attitude toward our bodies and male bodies. Once this foundation has been laid and correct vocabulary has been established, it allows for accurate discussion of future related topics.

While it makes parents feel comfortable to be included in the discussion of these topics, Girls Club is all about the girls' experience. The first priority is to create a safe, inviting, and comfortable space for the girls to share, ask questions and connect. When parents are present, it changes the dynamic of the group, and it has been noticed that girls share less and are more hesitant to ask questions.

Hand-drawn diagrams and anatomical models are used to teach female and male anatomy and function. A female pelvis model helps girls understand the location and internal reproductive organs and how they fit together. Anatomical posters and diagrams are also used to provide clear, accurate depictions of external anatomy, including the vulva, breast, and male anatomy.

Absolutely! Girls Club is about much more than preparing for a first period. We also explore friendship, feelings, boundaries, body changes, hygiene, and finding our voices. Whether your child has started their period or not, there is space for them to learn, ask questions, and feel supported.

We approach these topics gently, using age-appropriate language and activities. For younger participants, the focus is on understanding their bodies, naming feelings, respecting boundaries, and feeling comfortable asking questions and being prepared for what is coming with a healthy excitement. The goal is to build confidence and familiarity, with no pressure to share personal experiences or grow up faster.
