~ 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!

"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.

...to raise and mentor radiant girls …
...and to deepen your journey as an adult woman.
