Girl Plans: A junior workshop presented by I Will Prevail Life Coaching for Women

What is Girl Plans?
Girl Plans is a program of possibilities for girls in 4th - 8th grades. The program encourages girls to thrive in their environment and celebrate their individuality. Life coaching strategies and techniques empower girls to utilize their creativity and resourcefulness. Girl Plans teaches participants to examine their lives from different perspectives and provides them with tools and insights needed to be prepared, confident and equipped to face the intensity and uncertainties of today. Workshops combine games, educational worksheets, and group discussions as pathways to an in-depth exploration of the topics addressed. During the program, participants develop a binder which contains resources and reference material girls can take with them and incorporate into their lives.

Why is this important?
Growing up in today's environment and culture is stressful. Girls need a safe venue and outlet where they are free to explore the enormity of demands and options in their future. Girl Plans provides a space outside the family and school environment to meet new friends, hear the experience of others, share thoughts and feelings and develop tools and coping strategies.

When is the program?
Girl Plans can be taught after school or during the early evening. The program is most effective when the girls meet twice a week for 90 minutes. The program can also be reformatted into weekly sessions or full day workshops. Special schedules are available during holidays and summer recess.

Where is the program?
Girls Plans workshops are held at the offices of I Will Prevail Life Coaching for Women, 1242 E. Colorado Blvd Suite A, Pasadena 91106. Girl Plans can also be held at community organizations or schools.

What are the fees?
Individual registration for the program is $300 per girl per series. Private group sessions for up to 12 girls are $4000 per series.
