Girls need healthy
relationships with adults
to learn and grow
When adults create a
community where girls
feel accepted and
supported, girls learn
and adopt community
norms as their own

Fun is the game,
Learning is the process,
Character is the purpose
Safe environment for
girls to learn
Support girls’ growth -
not hurry it
Failure as essential part
of learning
