~ Making a difference for girls ~
Girls' Circle by Karen MackKenzie
Sisters! I can't begin to tell you how powerfully impactful a Girls' Circle is for every girl and for her family as well. My early mentees are still thanking me for what I passed onto them during their middle school years.
I supported my daughter in a mentored Rites of Passage process.
It changed both our lives. And then I knew that I had to step forward to make sure that every girl has this opportunity.
You can be part of empowering a generation of girls. Join us!

Still from the JOYW-Maiden Discovery Circle Rite of Passage film
"What if every girl worldwide
could easily join a Girls' Circle?"
Girls are hungry for guidance, mentorship and circling.
Every women has gifts to offer to girls!
The path of mentorship is transformative for us as mentors.
Every woman called to empower girls,
as a mentor or a mother,
deserves guidance and support.
So voilà, here is learning and here is a community of sisters.
Here are the skills and knowledge you need
...to circle with girls…
...to raise and mentor radiant girls …
...and to deepen your journey as an adult woman.
Here is a space for collaborative learning. Please know how truly welcome you are here – and how needed.
An amazing tribe of soulful women from around the world
awaits you,
