Twenty-five adolescent girls participated in a retreat to explore inner beauty, self-esteem, friendships, nutrition, healthy behavior and dream charts. “My Girls and I: An Overnight Self-Empowerment Workshop for Middle and High School Girls†was developed by the Blue Ribbon Mentor-Advocate program. Students in the program receive comprehensive support for academic, social, emotional and physical development from fourth grade through enrollment in college. The program is aimed at providing a peer-based way to build support for positive and healthy behaviors.
