Their bodies are changing, they
are exploring who they are as emerging young women, they are making
important decisions. Their peer relationships and new love interests
have more power in their lives. They

of passage mentorship programs are being recognized as potent and
meaningful foundations to create more stable, conscious and responsible
young adults who are then more prepared and skilled at navigating
choices about education, career, marriage and family. Adolescence
happens and youth need to individuate and find their identity independent
of their parents. They will choose their own “role-models”
from among their peers, public personalities, mentors and other
adults in their lives.
Girls Initiate provides
a venue where adolescent girls can focus on their journey into young
womanhood... where we support them in empowered and life-affirming
choices.
To begin this process, a girl needs to initiate her
Passage-Circle in 4 steps:
