Middle
Our Middle program is for girls who are 11-14 years old. The program is located at ____and will be held on ____'s ___ a month from ____ pm through October-May. The program includes a check-in meeting where each girl will inform the group of how she is feeling and what is currently going on in her life, whether it be something exciting coming up, something she feels happy about, or something she may be struggling with. After the check-in meeting, we will begin our age-appropriate lesson. Each month, your daughter will learn about a different topic. The topics that will be taught can be found below. Once it is clear that all girls understand and have grasped the lesson, we will complete a hands-on art activity that correlates with the topic discussed. Lastly, we will end the session with a recap of what we learned that day. During the recap, each girl will summarize what she learned and explain how she will utilize it in her life outside of the program.
Every month, each parent and/or guardian will receive a newsletter that includes the topic your daughter will be learning about that month, the hands-on activities we will be doing, resources to further explore each topic and questions and conversation starters to help start a conversation with your daughter about what she is learning at CLT Girls Pact.
