Stand Tall. Be Strong. Use Your Voice.
The Y-Strong Girls Program empowers young women ages 13–18 to build confidence, connection and purpose. Through mindfulness, movement, community service and self-discovery, participants learn to make healthy choices and support one another on their journey toward a meaningful life.
Participants may be eligible for a free Y membership! Availability depends on program capacity and attendance requirements.
