Transitioning to middle school is exciting yet challenging, bringing academic, social, and emotional changes. This half-day workshop helps 5th-grade girls prepare, boosting their confidence and excitement for this new chapter.

​Some Workshop Topics:
-
Handling unfamiliar situations
-
Protecting your mental health

Connecting to the 4GIRLS community
-
Identifying your strengths and building confidence

This highly interactive workshop features a mix of whole group and small-group activities, many led by Jr. Mentors—high school girls who have already navigated the transition to middle school. Younger girls often feel more at ease asking their questions and sharing their concerns with teen mentors who can relate to their experiences and understand their worries about starting middle school.
