Peer Groups
“All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.”
— Napoleon Hill
Bloom Upstate offers peer groups that help give young girls the opportunity to express themselves in a creative way. It also allows them to create bonded relationships with their peers in a safe and fun environment.
Enrichment Sessions
Enrichment sessions offer a holistic curriculum to create growth and personal empowerment with skill building themes and activities to promote critical thinking.
This program is a once-weekly curriculum, designed to create healthy well- developed girls using the Girls Circle Model. The Girls Circle model is a structured curriculum for girls from 9-18 years old. It aims to counteract social and interpersonal forces that impede girls’ growth and development by promoting an emotionally safe setting and structure within which girls can develop caring relationships and use authentic voices.
Peer Groups/Workshops
This program works in conjunction with the Enrichment Sessions. Peer Groups allow the girls to be authentically themselves and to use their voices about the things that are important to them. Peer groups will meet once per month. The girls will utilize journaling and Literature to enhance the learning experience. Examples include Workshops/Girl Talk / Community Service/ Arts & Crafts/Book Club
