Our Programs
We are dedicated to fostering the holistic development of girls in every aspect—mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially. Our mission is to cultivate the innate potential of girls to thrive an embrace their unique journeys. Join us in creating a supportive community that inspires growth and confidence.
HISTORY:
Since our conception in 2021, we've been dedicated to supporting the academic success of adolescent girls while introducing them to enriching experiences. Our journey began with a heartfelt commitment to assist pregnant teens who attended Brainerd High School. These pregnant teens lacked baby items, leading to the creation of our Caring Connections ministry. We're proud to have served Brainerd's pregnant students from March 2021 to May 2023 and are excited to continue fostering growth and community through our weekly club meetings at Brainerd High School in, Chattanooga, TN.


IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM:
Welcome to Girls Inspired In School at Brainerd High School! Our program empowers adolescent girls by providing access to valuable information and community resources. Participants engage in two community service projects, explore two college tours, and enjoy social events that foster team-building skills. With opportunities to take on leadership roles and attend our Leadership Retreat during Fall Break, girls can also connect with nature and each other at our annual Peace Retreat. Join us in this inspiring journey!



AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM:
Girls Inspired offers an after-school program at the East Lake Boys and Girls Club, designed specifically for elementary aged girls. The program is called The Peaceful Pandas Club. We focus on exposing our participants to essential social and emotional learning skills, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship building. We offer engaging age appropriate sessions once a week for two 6-week intervals throughout the semester.

PRAYER CORNER:
Welcome to Prayer Corner, where young ladies from Girls Inspired gather weekly to deepen their relationship with Jesus. Here, we believe in the power of prayer and the joy of experiencing answered prayers through faith. Join us as we not only grow spiritually but also forge meaningful friendships with God and one another. Together, we create a supportive community filled with love and encouragement.
